The songs started over grief. When cancer took the life of my nephew, Austin, just short of his second birthday, the grief was overwhelming. The grief jump-started the songs – lyrics and melodies just started to pop into my head, and I couldn't get rid of them. So, I began writing them down and singing. I began working with a prominent Nashville producer earlier this year and went to Nashville to record an album. Since I stand on my feet all day at work I can only wear P.W. Minor shoes, and I couldn't imagine standing all day in a recording studio with anything else. My husband jokes that I wore my "blue suede shoes" to the studio in Nashville. Well, what else would you wear to Nashville? I am grateful for Austin's gift to me – the gift of music. I sing about things that deeply touch my life and in turn Austin is able to touch the lives of so many others.
