Aw, I am so so happy to be here
I, I really am, aw, thank you
Now, I, I, I don't assume you all even know who I am, okay
I know some do, that's good
But some are like, "Nah, I was doing other things at the time or something", you know, it's, so
For you I just want you to enjoy the music
I'm gonna, I put a, I put a special setlist together for ya
You know, we're gonna do a couple of hits, but, uh
I wanted to play some songs that
That mean a lot to me and I thought they might mean a lot to you because you know?
But let me give you a little bit of a background actually
Like the mayor said, the mayor
I grew up in Leavenworth, Kansas
Oh yеah, born and raised in Leavenworth
And I undеrstand Kansas
Kansas has always been in my heart, you know, I, I lived in California for awhile but
Yeah, California
But Kansas is, is, is really right here so
When I was young, you know, in Leavenworth, we have a lot of prisons in Leavenworth
And when I was very young, I was about, uh, eleven or twelve
I was in a variety show that used to go around and perform in the prisons
And of course we had like four men's prisons
And at the time, the Kansas State women's penitentiary was part of the men's penitentiary
And it was in Lansing
And I remember singing there and I, I felt
I felt very close the time that I sang to those women, they were very very appreciative
And um, since then, ever since I
My dream's come true and I was able to, you know
Do what I wanted, I have always planned to come back and do a show
For you all, for the inmates of the women's penitentiary
So, man, just, just enjoy this evening
Tonight you are just, you are just women loving music, okay?
I, I really am, aw, thank you
Now, I, I, I don't assume you all even know who I am, okay
I know some do, that's good
But some are like, "Nah, I was doing other things at the time or something", you know, it's, so
