I’m sure volumes could be written about all the crazy BeatleMania, KTVA vocalist Tori Matthieu and I thought it would be fun to “Come Together” and do a duet of the famed Beatles track.

I struggled with 2 different tertiary (university Level) level teachers (6 months each about 8 years ago) telling me my voice just wouldn’t be able to do what i wanted to be able to do and even if it could, the material i wanted to be able to sing would be too ‘Dangerous.’ Absolute rubbish.
