In second grade, already dreaming of being a Tap Dancer...like Fred Astair or Gene Kelly, I was taken, by my parents, to The Lyric Theater for my first venture into the world of Voices....beautiful voices......the movie was SO THIS IS LOVE, with Kathryn Grayson and Merve Griffin.......The next Monday, in the West Clinton School auditorium, I heard Miss Alta Trotman singing.....well, not anywhere as well as "Grace Moore".....but well enough to impress an 8-year old boy, who had only heard his Grandfather sing, while accompanying himself on an old, out-of-tune upright Kable-Wellington piano...... or his Mother, singing....a few years later, as she fumbled on the ivory keys of that same piano..that was, now, mine......
