About Me

I am a former saloon singer. I have good genes, phenomenal luck and fabulous doctors. I used to live in Fort Lauderdale, hang out with the boys and play music, but now I live in Suburban Chicago with Mr. Sherman in a cozy 1926 Sears bungalow we like to call "Housie." I still like to hang out with the boys and play music. Mr. Sherman understands.More info about Patti
