'Tis true, Emily. It will be Saturday, September 18th at 1 p.m. on the Victory Music Shanty Stage (Main Stage) at Thea's Park in Tacoma.

I'm amazed. I never dreamed I would get this far. My thanks to SandyBob who, with another local musician, recorded the audition tape with me. It could have been his wonderful vibrant bass voice that swayed the judges!
