A Lone Voice

Highlands resident, Asiah Wotring sang "Lean On Me" by Bill Withers without any accompaniment using her voice as her only instrument. This critic gave her rave reviews but then again, she is my daughter.

Even though Asiah just completed her sixth grade year at MARSHALL, her FORD SCHOOL elementary school principal DR CLARE CRANE came back from a weekend in New Hampshire to be in attendance for the performance before leaving for another performance.
