About Me

My space is a place for friendship and to share my appreciation for music.“I think people who can truly live a life in music are telling the world, "You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don't need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it's the part I give most willingly.” George Harrison This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson. Go get one!

Suzanne Vega~ The Egg, Albany, NY

Tonight I was a member of an audience where I now feel I fit best. It wasn't solely because of the age group involved, it was mainly because we were all there to "listen." Suzanne Vega played in...
