The Father, The Daughter and The Music
You gotta love the way this kid sings.

Like Britney Spears maybe? Please. The mere mention of the pop diva makes Alisa Musto wince as if confronted with a plate of spoiled food.

No, give her Sinatra. Give her the songs that have some pedigree, some staying power.

And give her a room to work. Put her at the keyboard and let her sing those great songs and maybe throw her foot up on the keys with that Jerry Lee Lewis move her father, Billy, taught her.

I saw her a few weeks ago, and she lit up the place. At one point, she shifted from Mozart to The Big Bopper.

Charming, said people in the audience. Delightful. One woman asked if she could hug her.
