WHEN I STARTED THIS IT WAS TO JUST PUT OUT MY WORK TO DOCUEMENT MY LIFE OF ART AND MUSIC...SOMEHOW IT IS NOW CHANGING... I DID THIS AS I COULD NOT AFFORD A WEB PAGE NOW IT IS EVOLVING TO SOMETHING DIFFERENT...ART IS POLITICAL EVEN IN THE SIMPLEST WAYS..AS A ALABAMA ARTIST I KNOW THIS TO WELL SO HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE THINGS ABOUT ME NOT THAT MANY WILL READ IT ENJOY MY JOURNEY AS I CHANGE ...........watchin people and takin picks of real life.playing wheelchair tennis..makin art with friends..and music especially playing it. making or finding new things to play sounds on. is always a top thing. I love playing with my harp group RUTH AND NAOMI.check out their web page [email protected] also love nature as in flowers,birds and running water over smooth stones. warn sun or a chilly day.I think my favorite thing is sharing time with people who can make me laugh like some of the older women in my hood (sister ruby may) Then there is learning new things which keeps us young ..It is really nice when it doesn't make you feel stupid in the process..It is grand to hang with people who don't take things to serious and can laugh at themselves when needed especailly when that pick shows a bad hair day....or the video shows ya not to be as graceful as ya want others to see.... Make your own slideshow View all photos
sadly people who's bodies are gone..like chogyam trungpa. Dian Arbus.wouldn't mind having tea with Pema Chodron.. besides that I have met and continue to meet and take photos of everyone I could ever dream of. When I had cookies with Joan Baze I was speachless.Beer and dancin with Angila Davis was just to much fun...Playing music with Kay Gardner at a womyns music festable can't be topped
thats way to opened.My personal music is called soundscapes.I love using sounds on nature and simple splash sounds to create a plesent state of mind. Most of my sounds come from found objects or home made things some like a diddley bow.Do like Moby and that teck sounds...good to clean the house to.My beginings are in bluegrass, shape note singin,blues and I love certain improv as well and don't let me forget Dolly,Tammy Winette & Willie Nelson..oh lennord cohen....................................................... ......................................
