    Default My daughter is officially a "professional singer"

    Well gang, I gotta brag here... I am so damn proud! My 16 year-old daughter has been singing since she was a baby. We got her lessons through a friend at church when she was about 10 and then she went into a local School of Rock.

    Today, my baby had her first ever PAID gig, and it had nothing to do with SoR at all.

    Her mom's friend works for the retailer Lord & Taylor. The store had hired a DJ and a singer to come in to the store for a charity event. So, her mom's friend recommended her, I spoke with the store manager, and got Ginny her first gig. I felt like Peter Marshall! hahahaha!

    Ginny sang for 2 30 minute sets, everything from pop songs from Arianna Grande and Kelly Clarkson, to some Amy Winehouse, Adele & even some Etta James & Janis Joplin.

    I was one proud pop!

    Thanks guys. Of course, I recorded it. My camera battery is toast now but I'll share some tomorrow. Got a few stills too. It's funny, people see how young she is and don't expect a lot. Then she melts their faces. LOL!

    The store manager asked her to come back for the next time that they do this event, which will be in April. I'm so pumped.

    Something to be very proud of, CD. We would most definitely like to hear her.

    I have 3 daughters. They are older than your daughter. (45,47,48).

    They are all bright ladies. The 2 oldest graduated from UNC, and my youngest went for 2 years and dropped out to get married.

    If I bought them a semi and hooked the largest container made up to it, they still couldn't carry a tune.

    I literally laughed out loud on that! hahahaha!

    Somethin' about daughters, though. I have two, 16 and 10 , and a son, 11.

    They're all great and totally different people.

    Just make sure she doesn't join a rock band.....and DOUBLE sure she doesn't date a Bass player!

    Your comment about people not expecting a lot due to age or looks is Sooooo true. I've been stunned by the talent of many young'uns.

    OK, So I pulled out a video from over the summer from her Sweet 16 Party. We didn't want to do a dad/daughter dance… That's been done a gazillion times. We wanted a song that said "us" so we sat in with the band!

    EDIT: Why does it only show a link and not a thumbnail of the video?

    There you go.

    She sounds really good, but the drummer needs some work.
