Our hearts are overflowing with the myriad of ways we could introduce this week's guest, but we'll leave it at: Living Legend. Jeanne O'Connor exemplifies everything it means to "give of talents, time, and song" because that is exactly what she has been doing for over 64 years. Jeanne joined The Village Vocal Chords of Harmony Incorporated at just 14 years old, eventually going on to be their director, leading the group to 20 gold medals. She was also a member of Queen quartets, The Scale Blazers (1964), Esprit De Corps (1974), and U4X (2008). She also lent her voice to winning quartets, Kaleidoscope and Voices, and now sings with Coastal Voices Chorus - Area 6, Harmony, Inc. and Vocal Moxie. Jeanne is also a longtime volunteer and member of the International Board, including multiple terms as International President. We *could* go on and on, but we'll let you tune into the interview to learn more!

Debut broadcast is tonight at 10 pm EDT on Acaville Radio and then airs again at 9 am EDT on Sunday. After that you can stream or download the episode wherever you get your podcasts, including at vocalherspective.org
