Happy Birthday, Alice Sarah Ott!
She was born on a day like today, in 1988. At a very early age, while listening to Japanese from her mother, and German from her father, she knew that the best language to communicate is music.

Linda Ronstadt — in celebration (1946)
I have been doing rooms on Clubhouse where I dedicate a couple of hours to individuals and events which I find inspirational or important in our history.
