Influences: ...in not so much an order: Cyndi Lauper, X, Doo Wop, Jim Croce, Andres Segovia was a big guitar study for me, the many incarnations of Danzig, Allison Krauss, Rancid, Dolly Parton, most words that end in -grass, Billie Holiday, Concrete Blonde, "coded" slave songs, anything in the call and response category, R.E.M.,Toad the Wet Sprocket's Dulcinea album, the Disney Collection of Children's Songs on vinyl from my childhood probably taught me more about melody and harmony than anything else in my Life, heavy metal, Delta & Piedmont Blues particularly, Operation Ivy, Bach, the Duhks as of late...I could go on and I may...later
Sounds Like: The very first cries of baby Dress Up.

...strongly and strangely attracted to dark colors, starlight, beds, daschaunds, sparklies, shineys, caramel, weird lamps, buckles, and candle holding apparatuses of all sorts...afraid of the dark when I'm alone...more afraid of squash if a little unsettled by gourds at large...big fan of the Bastard (FAT not Ol' Dirty) but I can't drink anymore and really lost all desire anyway and NOT an advocate of dark liquors, vermouth, or Triple Sec....still love vodka martinis extra dry extra dirty but hate olives...equally fascinated by Daylight Savings Time and the concept of direction...always lead with my left foot...don't-strike that-can't dance except slowly in a little box unless, of course, you catch me in a particularly gangster moment, in which case I'm both 'Bout it' and 'Rowdy'...don't work especially well with a group...tend to speak less and listen more...keen observer of details to the point of missing the big picture....alto voice....improving on the egg shaker but still can't play tambourine...terrified and confused by the pop culture phenomenon that is Karaoke...can whistle like nobody's business and I SO just exaggerated...The first time my daughter left her handprint on the glass door I stared at it for hours having realized she was really here...hate hate hate those spiteful isms...Bela Lugosi...Ed Wood movies (or Johnny Depp masquerading as Ed Wood in movies;)...for any number of real and psychosomatic reasons, give me a black & white movie and I will tell you it's the best movie EVER even if it sucks...love (on rare occasion) to eat SpaghettiO's, drink Kool-aid, and play Nintendo all day...if you've seen or heard me cry you are among the few, though I sobbed uncontrollably at some point every day of my pregnancy...fan of Poe, Ayn Rand, Emily Dickinson, and Kurt Vonnegut....not a fan of William Faulkner except A Rose for Emily...prefer peppered beef jerky to steak when I'm not reclaiming my vegetarianism...feel guilty most of the time for eating meat...get a sick sense of accomplishment when I kill a fly... favorite book is Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary...wonder if gnomes really exist...worry that leprechauns really exist...am more a cat person than dog person...amused by guinea pigs and their chicken feet...tap my fingers on everything, even on my pillow at night...will have a whole conversation with you in my sleep and then get pissed off when I realize what's going on...don't subscribe to the notion of gravity per say...still pondering the rhythmic value of that bowl of Rice Krispies...!!!
