| Brianna Powell & May "Babe" Brightwell |
If you are behind, here is a super quick recap...
- I bought a vintage Nancy Drew book in Arkansas.
- Inside the cover was the inscription "this book belongs to May Gertrude Brightwell" with her Maryland address.
- Based on other notations, I estimated she owned the book in 1959.
- I blogged about this.
- I blog about everything that happens to me.
- I wondered, "Should I try to contact her?"
- Before I had the chance, her family read the blog and contacted me.
- She still lives in Maryland.
- Now we are all one big happy Facebook family:))
The following is a video of May's great-great niece, Brianna Powell. What a talent!!!

Awesome Talya! Great way to start my day!!
ReplyDeleteShe should be on Idol!
DeleteGood morning, Talya, and thanks for the update on the May Brightwell/Nancy Drew Mystery mystery! I also enjoyed the Cup Song, and I agree with you that Brianna should be on American Idol. She's definitely got a beautiful voice. Also, I'm not a 'musical cup aficionado,' but I'd say talentwise, her cup is full. Thanks for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteGreat Story about May Brightwell. Only a true detective could have tracked her down. Also, that is a very talented young lady who performed the cup song. Great, smoky voice.
ReplyDelete"Smoky voice" Perfect description Kip!
DeleteAs the proud Nana of Brianna, my heart is full reading these awesome comments. She's a most talented young woman with a kind and sensitive soul who, along with her 3 other siblings, rock my world. Thank you all!
ReplyDeleteThat was so neat! I had to watch it twice and I will be watching it again. WOW! That about sums it up. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love this story and I loved that young lady singing! She SHOULD be on IDOL! Nana is a most blessed Nana! They should do one of those 'feel good' stories about this on an evening news show!
ReplyDelete- Talya's cousin, Cindy -
Awww, thanks, Cindy! I count my blessings every day!!
DeleteAll of you are so awesome! Thank you so much, it's the best feeling in the world to know I've got support :)
