She's autistic, but has a wonderful gift in her music.<br /><br />Before the open mic, I used to have professionals play. I booked a duo from Albany to play three sets. After the first set, the lead singer lost his voice to laryngitis and couldn't sing. Michelle was in the audience, I explained her condition and I told him she could fill in. He was skeptical. He showed her his playlist and asked if she knew any of the songs. Michelle, of course, knew ALL of the songs. She sand the last two sets and blew the roof off the place.<br /><br />Then they asked Michelle if she'd like to join the band. :)Dave Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521055331641320893noreply@blogger.com
