      Hi Solitaire! Sorry to read about your lupus condition but delighted with the progress you've made in your singing career! Congrads! to you! Your old Professor from Gannon, Prof. George

      Hi Professor George, thank you for taking the time to say hello. I am so lucky to have had music over the years, I'm sure that it's one of the things that has sustained me in dealing with Lupus. And even though I never acted professionally, all of my theater training at Gannon has really helped with the singing over the years too. Thank you xoxo!

      How many languages do you sing in? And which ones are they? And how many, and which languages are you fluent in?

      I can sing in 7 languages, although I am not fluent in any of them :( I studied opera in college, and we were made to learn the phoenetics of several languages so that we could sing them.

      Do you find that being a singer satisfies your human need to feel heard? To express yourself vocally? Does it then make interpersonal communications in which you feel unheard easier to navigate through? Or am I drawing a non-existent parallel here?

      Yes, yes and yes. A song, to me, is like a painting. It is a concept and it tells a story.
