Martha - Mam
At every party or event Mam took the microphone and wowed us with her version of Elaine Paige or Barbara Streisand songs. I loved listening to her sing in the kitchen with the radio, she has a beautiful voice. Mam was my number one fan and attended every show I performed in as a teenager. She is my number one hero and inspiration!

"Music is the purest form of art...therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music...The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside."

Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, playwright and essayist. Won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1913)

"A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."

Maya Angelou (Poet)
