block island connection

Ah, The Voice. A TV show that has entered our lives in the past, back in the first season when it seemed that all you needed was a voice and not a look.  Sawyer Fredericks is the voice de jour and it turns out he is the grandson of a Block Island woman. She talks all about her excitement in the Block Island Times here.
The judges may be blind, but the people who audition for the show are not. It does not hurt that Sawyer is cute. And already has a fan base and a website.
