Amy Amy had pop star dreams in those days of harmonious nights when she was still sweet, had a voice that could swing and just enough talent to hope. She found herself ridin’ high with the band then life got blurry, imitation musical magic turned into tricks - venues & parties a-plenty. Amy couldn’t see her future, she lost her drive along the singer’s road. She heard it said aging background singers have no place, no place at all. © 2001 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 01-02-2001).] |

Oh how easy that can happen.....for all the millions upon millions of musicians and singers there are out there only a few make it to the top of their field....often times leaving some of the better ones far behind. Amy got caught up in the failure of a rough business......time for her to go home and back to college....and sing by herself maybe while alone just for the pure enjoyment... ethome |

show business is not a easy business to break into, a telling tale that we can all learn from. enjoye the read. It's in your eyes a fire that's wild and glorious Unhibited, unfinished in everything I do Let the morning rise like our hearts desire" whipping boy |
