Polly Roesch sings "Let There Be Peace on Earth," and "Silver Bells," with Karen Lynne Deal and the Illinois Symphony Orchestra. Polly turned 100 years old on December 6, 2010. Her sister, Esta, who was in the audience, turned 103 on December 9, 2010.
Never underestimate or argue with our elderly, or anyone else's (outside your family, of course). Seemed to me she was a bit nervous at first but the more she sang the more confidence she got and the more confidence she got, the better she got and one would never have known that she was 100! High notes were great (and better than many a singer, today) and the fact that she remembered all the verses! Brava, Polly! Kudos to you and Esther.

Bless her: she has moved me to tears! This is an example of vocal longevity and firm technique. To keep such a firm voice, crisp and round, at 100 is amazing (Marta Eggerth is approaching that stage, hopefully!). To top it all, she's so lovely, gracious and naturally elegant. There're certain human beings for whom we wish eternity, Polly is certainly one of those! Love!
