Lots of songs I have sang touched peoples lives.I just love it when I get the chance to hear thier story,it makes me feel really good,and it is nice to be appreciated and to know that my music has made a difference in someones life. I play some originals that have really left an impact on people.There is nothing like it in the world,it is so personal,even with strangers.

When my grandma went into a nursing home, she didn't settle well, so I volunteered my band to give a concert at the home. It was the most incredible day (considering it started off disastrously, with my co vocalist's child throwing up in the car!). That child took the video of me singing "God Bless the Child" to my grandma. I got down on my knees as I sang it to her, so she could see me. But, it was not that song that touched her, but one I didn't expect. When I asked her, she said "the third one". That was "Jesus What a Beautiful Name". She seemed to think she had heard it before, even though I know she had not. When I visited her again, the day before she died, she wanted me to sing to her again, so I sang it to her again. She said "It's been so long since I heard that." It must have touched something in her heart, though she was never a deeply religious woman. Memories are made of things like that.

I've sang a lot of songs,and touched peoples lives to, but there was this one moment I'll never forget it was when I sang "Amazing Grace" at my public school. The teachers were crying, and even some students. It was amazing.

Once I was singing "Tiptoe Through the Tulips' and the throat lozenge I was sucking on flew out of my mouth and hit a guy in the front of the stage.

When my mother was in the hospital before she passed away, I sang I'll be loving you "Always", with a love that's true "Always" (more than once). The woman who was sharing the room with my mother asked to be moved to another room. You might think that she didn't want to hear me sing but I think she couldn't handle hearing me sing that particular song when she knew my mother was dying. My mother loved to hear me sing and I loved to hear her sing. We especially loved singing together. Those were our happiest times. I taped my mother singing alone and us singing together. It comforts me to listen to the tapes since she passed away.
