About Me

"Be kind to me or treat me mean. I'll make the most of it ... I'm an extraordinary machine." - Fiona Apple ************************************************************ ********************* This all started one night when me, Mercy, was sitting at the "Flying Saucer" chatting up a storm with Chris Taylor back when they used to have open mic nights. As we sat there talking about life, music and other miscellaneous tid bits ... we suddenly stopped and looked over at the girl with the amazing voice. We looked back at each other then back at her and then as my lips began to form the words, Chris said, "She has a really great voice." And I said, "That's what I was thinking." The next time I saw Monica Wright I told her I had a poem I wanted to make into a song and asked her if she was interested in a barter. That was over a year ago and we haven't stopped collaborating! Monica Wright and I are a songwriting team. Monica is the voice and musician behind the music. We create because we can't help ourselves ... We hope people can enjoy it.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
