In August, I was glad to have the opportunity to see Lizanne Knott perform in Asbury Park, New Jersey. I had heard about the show for a while, and knew I had to check it out. When she walked in, my mom and I introduced ourselves to her and said that we had heard her music on WWR. She was impresed …
