Because my outward appearance (wholesome,
conservative, Midwestern, feminine, white woman) does not match my inner
knowing of Who I Am (soulful, independent, liberal but not
necessarily "politically correct", well-traveled, educated, fascinated by
cultural diversity), I have often struggled to be
recognized for ALL that I am.
But the older I get, the less interested I am in "struggling" and
the more I start looking toward Home. Where do I belong? Who
are my people, really? How do I express myself authentically in a way that
is both believable and inspiring to others? Life is short - how do I
lighten up and have more FUN?
As I continue this inquiry, you will see a slight shift in my music
and the way I present myself. Some of my earliest influences
(Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass, Barbra Streisand, Johnny Mathis, Boots
Randolph) may echo in my performances when you least expect
them.
My Home Page has taken on a new, exciting look .
THIS YOU GOTTA SEE!
Of course, none of this is any fun without YOU! So if
you get to come hear me play, anticipate a good time and a few
surprises!
