Child Musician Ansley Oakley Steals The Show – And An On Second Thought Interview

On Second Thought host Virginia Prescott has been a judge at three
of the semi-annual singer-songwriter shoot-outs at Eddie’s Attic in
Decatur. (Full disclosure: her partner hosts the weekly open mic
contests there.) At the 48th bi-annual shoot-out, then 10-year-old
Ansley Oakley stepped up to the mic – all of 4-foot-8 and wearing a
vintage maxi dress – and started to sing. The resulting performance
was so jaw-dropping that Virginia invited her to sing at Grocery on
Home, an occasional, bring-your-own-everything listening room that
she and her partner run out of the old grocery store where they
live in Grant Park.
