Judy's News
I was honored to be interviewed by music business guru Bree Noble for her popular Female Entrepreneur Musician Podcast. She titled it 'How To Improve Your Singing and
Survive the Music Industry', which should tell you how in depth her questions were about not only the voice, but life in the biz as I've survived it! You may have seen that she also let me interview her for All Things Vocal Blog and Podcast.

The Tennessean did a wonderful article on my old label MTM Records. It's the best, most accurate, in-depth article on that label I think I've ever seen. It included a photo when I had the big hair. Argh.
