Where It All Began… A Christmas Story
Sometimes, life's most unexpected journeys begin with something as simple as a song.
In 2000, at age 43, after battling Lyme disease and closing my longtime business, I found myself searching for a little joy and a new direction in life.
Then came the Christmas holiday season.
There was something magical about hearing the timeless holiday classics of Bing Crosby and the legendary voices of Christmas. As I'd drive along, singing with those familiar recordings, I discovered that the music had a wonderful way of lifting my spirits. I'd sing along for maybe an hour and feel like a new man.
Little did I know that those simple moments of Christmas joy would lead me to an entirely new chapter in my life—one filled with music, wonderful audiences, and memories I'll always treasure.
Lyme to Limelight
I often say that if I ever write a book about my journey, I'll call it “Lyme to Limelight.”
And it all began with a little Christmas music and a song in my heart.
