About Me

Just a small town, Southern Belle in the semi-big city; singing in an all-girl funk band w/ 9 of the most talented musicians in Seattle - we're named Kissing Potion, look for us out and about, playing in Seattle bars; trying to learn bass guitar, 'cause lady bass players are awesome; fish don't fry in the kitchen, beans don't burn on the grill, took a whole lotta tryin' just to get up that hill; working to pay the bills, volunteering @ school and in the community to try to do my small part; spending way too much time paying attention to pop culture and not enough time on a flashy myspace page.

Sharon Jones, Aretha Franklin, Denis Leary, Amy Sedaris, David Sedaris, Keith Olbermann, Chuck D, Bruce Campbell, Janeane Garofalo, Quincy Jones, Louis Theroux, Richard Dawkins, Michael Eric Dyson, Arianna Huffington, that one dude from KMFDM that Leroy says he knows but still hasn't introduced me to, Eddie Vedder, cast & crew of "Daily Show" & "Colbert Report" - heck, most anyone w/ a story, talent, or heart

My Blog

Beware the terrible simplifiers

1) Bill Moyers is the Man 2) Donate to PBS - he's one of the few folks on the air who tell it like it is with compassion, tolerance and plain good sense. From "Bill Moyers Journal".

Peggy Gilbert, R.I.P.

Sometimes I forget just how far lady musicians have come over the years.  Sad to report the passing of yet another musical pioneer, Ms. Peggy Gilbert. Obituary, home page.

Molly Ivins R.I.P., 2 other things

Ruth Brown R.I.P.

No politics, no Keith.  Just a quick entry to say the world is a little emptier today with the loss of Ruth Brown.  Donya and I had the pleasure of seeing her live at Bumbershoot 2003. ...
