Solid State Program from Solid State Records
Ellen Stekert Program 2017-03-25

EJS: When I ended this program, as well as during it, I judged it the worst program I had ever given. I had just gotten over the seasonal flu and I was aware that I had lost the soaring high notes I used to have. The audience was a hodge-podge of friends and strangers who fit into this little record store off 46th Street and Minnehaha Ave. South in Minneapolis. During the program you will hear me speaking with and to the audience. Sitting near me was my partner, Beth Upton, who insisted that although my voice when I was younger was ethereal and pure that now that I was older one could hear a greater range of expression in it, the reflection of a life experience. She encouraged me to keep working at making a “comeback” as a singer. I was 82 when this program was done. Little did I know then that in two years I would no longer be able to sing or even talk clearly. Two surgeries to fuse my upper spine would accidently cut the nerve to one of my vocal chords, January 2019.]
