Connie works with Toby Gad

In June, Connie made her second visit of this year to Los Angeles, and stayed for just over a week. She spent much of the time in the recording studio, where she was working with the legendary multi-Grammy award winning song writer/producer Toby Gad.

This picture shows Toby and Connie during a break in recording sessions.

Connie also found time while she was in L.A. to visit Disneyland and other interesting places. At the end of her visit, when Connie was on her way to the airport to catch her flight home to England, we asked her what she thought was the most amazing thing that happened during her stay in America. Without any hesitation, she replied, "Definitely the most amazing thing was working with Toby Gad in the recording studio!"

Connie To The Rescue

I thought I'd share a little story about Connie with you.

Recently, Connie was in Los Angeles to record with songwriter/producer Toby Gad.  After a week of long days and hard work in the studio, I thought Connie deserved a little treat.  So, on the last day she was here, I packed up the car with Connie and Sharon and our friends Jordan and Lee-anne Jansen, and we headed to Disneyland.  Everyone had a great time, but there was one little incident that sticks in my mind.  As we were walking through the park, Connie spotted a little boy, maybe 4 or 5 years old, standing in the middle of the crowd of people walking every which direction.  He was just standing there, crying, and no one seemed to pay much attention... well, except Connie.  She quickly crossed over to the little guy, squatted down next to him and asked him what was wrong.  He told her he was lost.  Connie took his hand and brought him over to where the rest of us were standing, then she ran over to a park employee with a walkie-talkie and told him about the lost boy.  Within a couple of minutes, frightened boy and worried family were reunited.  It is just a simple story, but it showed what a kind, caring and compassionate young person Connie Talbot is.

Having gotten to know Connie's parents, Gavin and Sharon, and having already witnessed several random acts of kindness involving strangers, I know where Connie gets those wonderful qualities from.

It is a special treat to be working with Connie.  She has my admiration and respect.
