Castle for Aimee

Episode Summary

Today we’ll feel and experience Lake Elsinore and Aimee’s Castle followed by an interview with beautiful, warm and wonderful Valerie Geason. It all started with Jazz music for Valerie. She began singing at the age of 19. Valerie sang in front of her first audience trying to win scholarship money for college. From that point on she was bitten by the performance bug. Being introduced to jazz first, Valerie developed her talent by listening to such artists as Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson and Nina Simone. Valerie has performed in various arenas with a wide array of artists such as Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs performing the National Anthem, opening for Jazz Greats Dizzy Gillespie and Mel Torme and Comedian Redd Foxx in Las Vegas. Valerie also traveled internationally with Ray Charles as one of his Raelettes. Valerie’s career has been extensive and fulfilling. Musical Theatre credits include: Ain’t Misbehavin, Chicago (Mama Morton) and Newsies (Medda Larkin) just to name a few. This native Texas girl has come a long way since moving to California after completing her college education in San Antonio Texas.
