  2. Hi Joy, it’s delightful to get to know you. You’re an accomplished musician. I would have to love to be a music teacher but at the time teaching music was not promising. I did go into education and got my Ed.D.
    Thank you for stopping by my blog tour. I’d love for you to have a copy of my poetry.
