Weirdest performance request
“Once a judge asked me what I did for a living during a court appearance. Then, he had me sing “The Sound of Music” while the trial was going on. It did end up in my favor but not sure if my voice had influenced him at all. I was curious to see what the court reporter had typed while I was singing.”
Laura enjoys entertaining mainly in Central Florida but can also travel to any location for special engagements or events.
