Sharon Mabry

Clarksville, TN – Dr. Sharon Mabry’s plane was delayed. The Austin Peay State University professor of music arrived at the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston a little after 11:30 p.m., some six hours later than she intended. She was tired, having spent the day rushing through airports to make connecting flights, and she needed a good night sleep. The next morning, she was scheduled to sing live before a national audience on WGBH radio.

But when Mabry reached the front desk of the hotel, she learned her bad day was just beginning.

“We walked up to the counter, and this elegantly dressed man said he had given away our reservation because they were overbooked,” Mabry said.

She and her accompanist, Patsy Wade, were close to panicking. They explained to the clerk that they were supposed to perform a concert in only a few hours. «Read the rest of this article»
