About Me

I’ve been playing piano for 29 of my 32 years, and singing since I could speak. I’m just a girl from small town Ontario...no long tale of a hard and troubled life...struggling to break free from my oppressive surroundings. In addition to playing piano, I also play guitar (most often in open D tuning), mandolin, saxophone, flute, clarinet, and tin whistle.

It's done!!

Well...I finally finished the song that has been haunting me for the past couple of weeks.  I still don't know how I feel about it.....I think it is still too fresh to really feel ANYTHING about ...
