I appeared on Salty Brine's Spotlight on Talent in April or May of 1963. I was so mad at my mother for submitting my name. What I didn't realize is that at the audition, they timed my piece that I played on the piano—Gavotte. The day of the taping, I left out an entire section. All I can remember is everyone scrambling as their timing was off! The day of the airing there was a fire in the woods behind our house. It was put out minutes before the airing. My parents invited all of the firefighters in the house to see me play! I was all of 10 years old. I wonder if there are any tapes of these shows?
