When my editor suggested I write about a woman with a natural gift for song, I was deeply interested.
Having grown up in a home with very little music, and a mother who was tone deaf, I am impressed by people who have musical ability and can elicit an emotional response from a listener. I once watched with amazement as people around me tried to control their emotions when a well-lauded singer performed and I felt no response. However, the beauty of violin music has caused my tears to flow.
Stage fright is very real, though, and some people who have musical talent resist every opportunity to perform—even in front of close friends. I cannot imagine a bird that would not sing to the heavens, and it is sad when a gifted performer cannot experience the joy of sharing their good fortune with an audience. Even if stage fright prevents some people from singing or playing music in front of others, I hope they can often express their musical abilities for their own enjoyment.
My mother sang to her children, though, and her voice was beautiful to us. I wish everyone who reads this story and has the ability to sing to take a moment to delight in the sound of their song.
