Having a sister who is three years older than you that doesn’t live with you when you’re a five year old girl means that you want to be like them and do the things they do. My older sister Brittany, who lived with her mom in South Carolina, came to visit every summer and every other Christmas. We shared a room when she was here which meant we were very close and also meant I would annoy her to death. Brittany, when she was younger, was in beauty pageants and was really good at them. She won many categories like beauty and talent. I remember seeing my sister… who was from the south… performing a song in the living room to my parents. To me, it was the best performance I had ever seen and left me wanting to sing with a twang that filled people ears with a sweet heartfelt sound. At a young age I knew the simple song that I would learn in school like “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” and Mary Had a Little Lamb” but had not really paid attention to any certain type of music. She sang “Why Haven’t I Heard from You” by Reba Mcentire and I was hooked on country music.
Off to a good start!
