And I'd like to ask you to tell the audience more about you so that they can get to know you.

Well, I mean, you mentioned that I'm from Thomasville, Georgia.

Yes.

I started out at the First Missionary Baptist Church.

And the only reason I'm bringing that up because I was inspired musically by our staff.

Our minister of music, Carolyn Henry, was a piano major from Fort Valley State College.

Our church organist, I had the opportunity to go to Metropolitan Opera.

And then what inspired you to do recordings of your songs?
