The $300.00 WINNER!

When Summer was in high school, she was in a show choir. And she seemed to do quite well. This high school always held a talent show and offered a money prize. The neat thing about this was that it brought people out of the woodwork to try for it. There were kids trying out that weren't in any of the music classes, etc. Anyway lots of good stiff competition was to be had! I remember telling our kids that the piano players win.

Summer auditioned with "Summertime.". Dad worked with Summer and her accompanist to perfect the song. Well, the night came and as I suspected the piano players were very good . The favored male singer was very good! Then Summer got up and stood by the piano in her beautiful white dress and no shoes. She was very striking with her bright red hair and blue eyes. And then she started singing!
"Summertime, and the living is easy…
It was low and rich. It had a beautiful intensity.
That was it! There was no turning back! The audience was captivated! There was even some guy in the audience that later claimed that she "melted" him.

She brought the house down! The judges thought they'd see her name in lights one day.
She surprised all the "would-be" winners. She won the $300.00 !!!
(and her voice just keeps getting better!)
