About Me

With more than 25 years experience in performing music, I was originally self taught then classically trained. Having studied music at McNeese State University from 1987-1996, I concentrated in Vocal Education and Jazz & Commercial Guitar. I have also written several hundred songs in my lifetime. I currently teach guitar at Central Arts & Humanities in Lake Charles, La. and at McNeese State University Leisure Learning program. My current recordings can be heard at www.tinawing.com and (bumper music) at www.laghosts.com *A very special thanks to Robert "Rusty" McCall for the Promo pictures and for being a dear friend. **A very very very special thanks to my boyfriend/Bass Player/Best Friend Joe Ecker!
