DD Central Theme for July is Summertime - by George Gershwin
CT0712 - Ma is good lookinÂ’
My mother was the best dressed woman in our town. Maybe even the State. Every Sunday ushered in a great suit or dress replete with gloves and hat. She was in two of the churchÂ’s choirs and sang solos on many occasions. Her voice was similar to Barbara Streisand or Gloria Lynn. As a child I did not appreciate her singing until I was a little older. Now, I wish I could have a recording. She only hums now.
Robert Jackson’s “Girl Sharp” digital image was a perfect choice for my Mom.

Oh how pretty this is. Your Mom sounds like quite a lovely lady. I wish I had recorded my Mom's voice before she died. Oh I would give anything to hear her again.
