I have a young student who recently came back to me after a 3-year absence. I taught her as a young teen. Her look was Goth. bangs covered her whole face.

I am the Music Correspondent on the radio show, ‘On the Slide With Skip’. Last Wednesday, October 17th, my student, Lou Lou White, was Skip’s guest.

If you love Broadway and Rodgers and Hart, and Hammerstein, Then this two-night event, orchestrated by Bill Fayne, is for you.

My Man won! J Rome. When Duets began, I really enjoyed the process of the professionals singers choosing the contestants. I loved J Rome from the start, and knew between John and J Rome, both Jennifer Nettles proteges, I knew she had the winner.

To say that Tom Cruise ‘saves this Rock of Ages’ would be a little unfair. There are other great performances. too. However, until Cruise arrives, you might wonder if this is a long Saturday Night Live parody.

I was expecting to be blown away. After all, this is Idina Menzel! The singer from Rent, Wicked, and Glee. I did see her PBS special, got her concert DVD and was mesmerized.

I have watched The Voice since the first time it aired. I thought was the only show of singers competing, worth watching.

From his first performance, Jesse Campbell, a man who was homeless with a daughter and lived in his car, was my choice to win the season.

I never thought I would answer this question. There are so many great singers and all different.

I was watching a cable film with James Caan and Sally Field, “Kiss Me Goodbye”, and at the credits, there she was, I recognized her right away, Dusty Springfield, a song written by the late Peter Allen.
