Melissa Marquais is living her dream while living her grandfathers legacy. Ernest G. Schweikert, Melissa's late grandfather was a composer who wrote with an amazing lyricist named Frank Reardon. They wrote for Billie Holliday, Sammy Davis Jr, Guy Lombardo, Perry Como, The Four Aces, Dinah Shore and many other big name artists. They also had their own Broadway show called "Rumple." They were never paid for their work. One day completely heart broken, Ernest, took his piano bench and dumped everything he had ever composed in the garbage. He passed away shortly after. His compositions have been missing for over 50 years. Melissa spent the last year finding his lost music and is bringing new life to all of them.
