I don't know if you know me, but I know Alexa as another girl I used to see in the summertime. We used to play together... My family is friends with the Cudes (wilf & mary pat). We live in Cape Breton. I ran into the Cudes the other day and I asked about Alexa. They told me that she got into nscad and was wwoofing in the uk. I was surprised to hear she's taking Fine Arts. I'm doing the same thing at Mt. Allison. I couldn't find her on facebook so I resorted to google and your blog popped up. I was wondering how I could get in touch with her... Ask if she remembers Lucy. Hopefully she hasn't forgotten me. haha thank you so much! Hello!

The younger the person is when exposed, the better. It is the only way to develop a true appreciation for music. As a classical singer it was my exposure to all different types of music that led me to my niche and I still enjoy listening to R&B, C&W, Jazz, Blues, Gospel, Hip-Hop, Ethnic, you name it!
