She is right, "They have NOTHING on Marry Poppins, NOTHING!" What a beautiful voice.

What no comments? Ok, here's one. Julie is a genius in everything she puts her heart and mind too. Acting, writing, and now taking an interest in making sure the legacy of good acting is carried on through our youth and children. I for one, am happy to say I intend to help her carry that tradition on. In fact, I was just accepted into a play that will put on 3 shows within 2 days, in 3 local Michigan cities. I hope God allows me to continue to co-advocate with Julie and other truly talented ppl.
