Gosh, Mom! Don't They Know You'Re Not Anybody? (eBook, ePUB)

One Woman's Journey Through the Perils of Performing, Living, Laughing, and Loving

Beschreibung

As a professional singer, Judy Dye has concertized in many venues that have included the Kennedy Center, the National Gallery in Washington DC, and Teddy Roosevelt's home in New York City. But her most memorable concert experience was when, while performing at The Toledo Zoo's annual summer concert series, a pigeon made an unwarranted deposit on the shoulder of her beautiful evening gown. As she and five thousand audience members burst into laughter, Judy chalked the moment up to just another fun experience in her adventurous journey through life. In a memoir filled with humorous and poignant vignettes and observations, Judy leads others through her varied experiences as she followed her dream of becoming a professional vocalist, traveled the world, married and became a mother, and embraced all that life had to offer. While revealing a glimpse into all those who surrounded her on her path to achieving her professional accomplishments, Judy reminds all of us that we are never alone on our journeys through life as we bravely face obstacles, strive for success, and learn the value of unconditional love. Gosh, Mom! Don't They Know You're Not Anybody? shares true stories from a professional singer as she laughed, loved, and followed her dream.
