#𝐌𝐲𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
Valerie Tyson’s first Friday Night Sound Waves performance took place on my 49th birthday - April 27, 2018. It was a cloudy night, but we always say Mother Nature loves music, and the rain stayed away. What followed was pure joy: a conga line to All Night Long sung by Valerie, accompanied by the Valerie Tyson Band, led by our Friday Night sisters Roberta Albuquerque and Andrea Araujo, which somehow morphed into a birthday song. What’s better than that? Nothing. No better way, place, or people I could imagine spending my birthday with.
