Happy Friday the 13th! Enjoy today’s fun video of a delightful impressionist on America’s Got Talent.

I happen to enjoy barbershop quartets and also enjoyed the old Southern Gospel quartets when growing up. I sing bass.

I really hope my book won’t be featured in this museum! Enjoy this fascinating video.
