1968, White Memorial Hospital, Los Angeles CA, less than a year old.
When I look at this picture I’m filled with awe. Even as a baby I was all about peace (check me flashing the peace sign) ;->
Anyway - my mother, Rosalyn Sovory (registered nurse) was a proud mom but none could be prouder than my dad Allen Sr. (SDA minister). He took one look at me and proclaimed “his nickname is Matisse - he’s an artist”.
Wouldn’t be the first time he’d hit the nail on the head.
Less than 3 years later I’d be onstage in the basement of that very hospital giving my first vocal performance “Yes Jesus Loves me”. I got a standing ovation...
