As Motown began to shake the Motor City, Green, who wrote songs but could only play three chords on the guitar, auditioned, for Barry Qordy. Some of her songs'were published, but never recorded, by Jobete, the song- writing division of Motown Records. "She was also singing at guitar masses at Si. Timothy^ in Tren ton. When parishioners asked her to teach them to play guitar she did and later accepted an invitation to teach guitar at adult education classes all over Down River. . . Green who says she "played very mediocre guitar," and knew enough to only teach a 10-week course, started taking guitar Wessons. When her teacher could n't play a gig at a local restau rant, she filled in. That led to-' other jobs singing and playing guitar at local restaurants and Holiday Inns and Ramada Inns. "I was the background music," she said. After remarrying in the l£90s, Green didn't want to work nights anymore so she enrolled in the child development program at Schoolcraft College with the . thought of opening her own day care center.. "I saw a need for quality chil dren's entertainment," she said. Teachers told Green her music was wonderful, and got her jobs.
