Dee Daniels and TK Blue
July 29, 2012, NYC
Dee Daniels rocked the house at SMOKE in Manhattan. Singers Cynthia Holiday, Antoinette Montague, Cynthia Scott and Joan Cartwright joined Dee onstage for blues renditions to remember! Dee’s Midlife Crisis is a lively addition to the WIJSF Compilation CD Volume II.
On my way to meet WIJSF member Lenore Raphael for lunch just off Columbus Circle, I stopped to listen to this violin duet. They are fresh, young and talented. I invited them to join our organization because I could see them down the road being accomplished and acclaimed. Charly and Margaux are dedicated to performance. Watch out for them in the future!
