In March of 1999, we found Norma Rogers preparing for her performance as a guest soloist with an orchestra in Alabama.

She had just finished a 20-city tour with the Nashville Symphony, which annually accompanies Amy Grant for her popular Christmas season program.

That tour had ended in the Pacific Northwest. "They played to sold out audiences all over," said Bruce, Norma's husband.
