Our show biz experience was indeed fun and exciting and led to some wonderful opportunities.<br />Townsend is a great place--gateway to the Smoky Mountain National Park. Townsend is maybe 15 miles or so from my mother's house.

What an incredible story. And your mom's acrobatic feats look quite impressive. Good for her, that she kept up her dancing for all those years. <br /><br />I agree with you on eastern Tennessee.

My dream, is to become a Radio City Rockette. It is something that I think all young female dancers aspire to be. Your mother must be quite a woman with many stories to tell. I wish you the best of luck in convincing her to let you help her write a book. I would buy it, that is for sure. I am very interested in everything dance... my dance teacher who passed away in November at the age of 94 was a vaudeville tap dancer who also fell in love on stage with her husband and fellow tap dancer. Your mother's story reminded me of her.
