About Me

I'm a professional alto, which is to say, I sing "oo" a lot!But it's a great place to be and a great thing to get paid for. I belong to The US Army Field Band (www.armyfieldband.com) and we travel about 120 days a year, giving free concerts all across the country. I miss my husband and our deranged pets when I'm gone, but I've been to some of the smallest towns and best concert halls in the country, and hopefully helped make a difference to some folks out there. This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
