first step to fame

Posted on Wed 13 June 2007 at 09:55

Melissa was really late home from school today.  Her friend rang to see if she was in and as she lives next door, I asked her why they hadn't walked home together..  'Because they are singing in the street' she said.  I thought she meant that Melissa and another friend were walking along singing and she had been embarrassed by them and come home on her own. 

Was I ever wrong!

When Melissa came in, she told me that she and another friend had been busking!!   Georgia sang and Melissa played the guitar!  They were only at the local shops so didn't attract a major audience, but I was very impressed with their enterprising spirit!  They made $1.20 and some sweets!  They put the money in the donation box at the vets for the SPCA.  I think that New Zealand has been good for her - I can't imagine her doing this before we moved here.

Is this the first step on the road to fame?  What will she do next?  Will she become rich and famous and keep me in my old age?  I don't know, but well done that girl!!
