About Me

"To sing you must first open your mouth. You must have a pair of lungs, and a little knowledge of music. It is not neccassary to have an accordion, or a guitar. The essential thing is to want to sing. This then is a song. I am singing." (Henry Miller)(Above image is from www.thirddrawerdown.com)
