Nestled in the Central East-Texas area of the piney woods near the Texas / Louisianana  line, was a busy   mom, Some years later, it took a child of hers to show her the talent the child had adored for years.
 Although  Ms.Betty grew up within a singing family she never sang in front of an audience other than her children.  In 1993, at the ripe ole age of  50,  While visiting her oldest daughter in San Antonio, during the Fiesta Texas celebration, Ms.Betty’s Daughter secretly put in a song for Momma to sing...(apparently she did pretty well) The show’s dj's then asked her to return and close their show that evening.....
 

       Since then she has sang in Karaoke Clubs in Pt. Arthur and Beaumont for a while and was asked by one Karaoke D.J. to audition with her in Orange, Texas for Nashville Starseek.....They were then asked to come to Nashville and perform...both of them making the final round, but circumstances did not permit Ms. Betty to compete in the final round....

      When she and her husband retired in 2001..She decided to sing at Lions Club Talent show in Hemphill, Texas. She placed 2^nd that year....she went on to1st Place in 2002 and 2003...Was also encouraged to contact Rod Hopkins with the Ark-La- Tex Music Show in 2002.....she sent him a tape of her singing and he contacted Ms.Betty to come sing on his show.....and was soon asked to be a regular there every month...Can you Guess who her biggest fan is? Well just look in the audience and the man with the big smile and applauding her, is her husband ‘Kenneth’

  Yep!!! he’s been heard saying “One Hot Momma”.  

    Ms Betty has performed for crowds at "Mayfest in Hemphill", "Milam Settlers Day" , "Songs along the Sabine", "Lions Club Talent Show", and " Ark-La-Tex  Music Show" and recently auditioned for Nashville Star at the local level...Her Spunk and Jazzy Style brings  smiles to many  faces in her audiences, and you can certainly tell Ms. Betty is Loving it.
