Yep-her mom is Annie Hunt, and her real father is Steve (I came along when Leslie was about 18). If you follow the YouTube related videos far enough, you'll see one of her American Idol performances (Natural Woman) and her mom is the blonde in the audience who looks just like her. But I prefer to watch a video like "Let Them Go"-can't see her very well, but the singing is, well, awesome (he said, proudly).
The Star Spangled Banner is a real bear to sing, especially a capela, and more so when you have delayed sound coming at your ears from the speakers several hundred feet away. I was impressed, but I'm biased. Glad to hear you liked it.

As in the same Leslie Hunt that was from Chicago and was on American Idol a few years back (or so my kid tells me). In any case a great voice and the only time I think I've ever seen anybody sing the National Anthem in key and with a smile on their face - she looked like she was having the time of her life.

But I'm really proud of this girl, even if her mother and I split up three years ago. She sang the National Anthem at the Cubs game last night, and someone got it on video and posted it on YouTube. I'm just an amateur myself, but I do believe this girl can flat-out SING. http://www.youtube.com/cdame17 Again, my apologies for being so far off-topic, but it's still kinda winter here (snowed yesterday) and I think for 24 hours after snowfall you get a free pass on off-topic postings.
