Alan,

My daughter Rachel is not performing right now, but she will be putting a band together soon. She is about to start at Columbia College where she wants to double-major including music (performance). She has been performing off and on since she was about five years old. She sang in the children's choir in the opera "Carmen" at the Lyric Opera (the operahouse in Chicago) when she was twelve performing before thousands of people, where the lead role was performed by Denise Graves.

There is no doubt she will sing throughout her life. She had been in a class that kept her busy every evening, but her evenings are free now. I love singing with her and she will occasionally join me on a song or two, but we are not doing it regularly anymore. Her mother was also really good singer who studied opera at one time, so she comes by it honestly. My wife Carla and I met when we were both in a band many years ago. She was the lead singer and I was the lead guitar/saxophone player.

Jack
