A new Mrs. Miller - and much better

"Those who remember Mrs. Miller - a very enthusiastic elderly singer in the 70's - can rejoice. Margarita Pracatan is here. What she may lack in talent or singing she makes up for by her sheer enthusiasm and love of music. I have played this CD for all my friends and visitors and they have all been totally taken aback by her renderings of such classics as Hello - Take a chance on me and many other golden hits. Pracatan not only sings but accompanies her own voice on the syntheziser. Although she sometimes has to struggle with a button or two to get the correct tempo for the drums or background, she breezes through it all with a contagious laughter and pure joy. It is a dead person who does not listen to this CD with tears inhis/her eyes, be they tears of sorrow or more likely - pure joy :-)"
