OK, I admit it, I am shameless when it comes to my daughter. Many of you know her as iReporter "elhayym"; what many of you do *not* know is that she is a wonderful singer. She is classically trained and in my personal totally unbiased opinion, just simply GREAT!
So, I thought I'd put in a plug for an upcoming free concert she and baritone (former football player for Houston) Lawrence Harris are doing at the Ossie Davis Hall in New Rochelle, NY on October 2 from 3-4PM. She and Mr. Harris will be doing a variety of operetta, musical theatre, and well-known operatic pieces...oh, and did I mention it's free?

Just to whet the appetite, the following links will take you to youtube videos of her in previous concerts and opera. Mind you, they taken with a small video camera from the back of the concert hall and there were no microphones so and the initial shots are a bit shaky but the singing isn't...enjoy!

I know, I know, I know...shameless, right? Well, that's what Dad's are for!
