My old church would put on dinner  shows in the basement- mainly  Broadway and showtunes , where people would sit and have dinner and then enjoy a themed performance from the church choir and soloists. The shows were afforded as part of an endowment for the arts by Hardwood and Louise Cochrane , both prominent members of Tabernacle Baptist church and the Richmond community. When I started singing with the choir, I eventually was doing some numbers in these productions.  These pictures were taken October 22nd, 2001, when I was 22 years old .

I'm a Singer/Songwriter from Richmond, Virginia, and here I will be posting pictures from my golden days of youth, as well as pictures from the road and music tours, my musical past and present, and everything in between. I don't know how to start this, so anyway, I will pick something random. Pictures will be included with stories and anecdotes along with them. This is a random photo blog , so just everyday pictures will be posted  here , as well . Enjoy!  Back Porch Richmond                                                        This picture from Fall 2001,  was taken when I was 22 years old  on the back porch . I remember I went through a phase in my early 20s, when I wanted to...
