I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass." Dr. Maya Angelou
MY ORIGINAL DIVAS
I have loved music from a very early age. I did have a bit of talent at playing the piano and singing but these days that's very much a private thing. However, I remember Saturday nights babysitting for my sister's children and watching all those Hollywood musicals where the cast would suddenly burst into song and dance for no reason but I loved them all. I was especially blown away with the dancing. At the time I didn't think about how many takes it would need to get the routine right I just thought they are so good. There was so much talent around in those days but I feel that the three ladies I call the Original Divas need a special mention.
