About Me

When our only child graduated from college, we no longer had to attend swim meets, we're empty nesters and the real estate market hits the skids -- what do you do.Now I can have some real FUN ~~~ find something else to occupy my time, make new friends and enjoy some good music! Funny what good timing that Taylor Hicks has (hahaha). His appearance on American Idol was just the impetus I needed to immerse myself in a new and fun pasttime.My husband, daughter (when she visits) and 3 cats have gotten used to sharing their time with my Taylor Hicks music! Good thing -- hah!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Taylor Hicks (again), Van Morrison, Hootie Lewis (of the Blow Fish), Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart, James Taylor, Felix Pollard, Sean Connery, Andre Boccelli, Stevie Wonder.
