WITH THE PASSAGE OF YEARS

Posted on August 5, 2010 by Judy

Yesterday was quite joyous for me as I recorded a very special song, “Only Tears.” I was very happy with the way I sang it, as well as the arrangement. In a few days, it will be Cheryl’s birthday.

WHAT YOU’VE MEANT TO ME – PART 1

Posted on July 21, 2010 by Judy
