I am very fortunate to have Hayley as a close friend. If you ever need your sinuses flushed, just listen to her sing "What Color Is The Wind?"

At the ripe old age of seven years, Hayley mesmerized her audience at Royal Albert Hall in London. She was born blind when her irises failed to develop in the womb.

She has been nominated for Best Female Country Singer In Britain by BCMA and, although she didn't win (this time) it was a tremendous honor, nonetheless.

Kind of funny but her greatest thrill was to be picked up at home by two "sweet smelling" guys then chauffeured to the awards ceremony then returned home afterward.

If I sound like a proud poppa when discussing Hayley and Josie C, it's because I am extremely proud of my girls. "Girls" in the most respectful, affectionate sense of the word.

Josie Beck reminded me that a blind female has never been on the top rung in the Country genre. A worthwhile goal for Hayley to shoot for.
