About Me

First off I want to say I am grateful and blessed for the life I've lived so far. I'm glad I got to meet so many country stars when I lived in Nashville. I met Chet Atkins in his office on Music row and was honored to hear him play a couple of songs on his guitar, The Oak Ridge Boys, Barbara and Irlene Mandrell. I heard Ricky Scaggs sing before he was famous, and knew he would be! Ran a publishing company for Charlie McCoy and Wayne Moss. Wayne and Charlie were among the most highly in demand session players in and around Nashville back in the day! Mel and Mary McDaniel, Vern Gosdin, Porter Wagoner and several others. Born in Michigan, lived in Illinois and Florida. Was singing every few Mondays at The Music City Bar and Grill this summer (kind of cool they have a Michigan banner, but can be found hanging out at Edgehill Studios Cafe for the absolute best in songwriters with Greg Friia and Steffon Hamulak every other Friday night. I came here in 1979 to be a star greater than Dolly Parton but became quicly sidetracked in the marriage and mommy field. I still have to be careful not to get distracted by something shiney! Nashville Has a taste of all three places I've lived with less Cold Cold or Hot Hot (still blonde as ever!). Nevertheless, I Graduated with high honors. I started meditating last summer but do not do it religously anymore. It was amazing where just 5 minutes a day on a consistent basis took me. I experienced a place that was so expansive there was no time or space there. Very calming and peaceful. I've always had a little of that Saturday Night, South Park, Family Guy, Sick humor. I love to write and have written short stories, poetry, and songs. I am a very creative being. I drew some pictures and one pencil likeness of a Monk was my favorite, but those were all lost in a move somehow. I would like to take up drawing and painting again when I have more time, maybe in my sixties. I am a late bloomer and sometimes I feel I move slower than molasses, but I definately dance to my own drummer, or I think mine may play the flute or the Xylaphone or something. I've had some adventure, I learned how to fly a Cessna, then a diamond...just don't ask me to land it. My daughter was married in the middle of Iguassu Falls, Brazil, and I had an Indiana Jones experience I'll never forget. I love people, movies, kindness, and all types of creativity unless its really evil or scary or even spooky. I've written many genres of music, country, pop, christian, healing, even bluegrass. The greatest words of wisdom I can relate are: "Remember, where ever you go, there you'll be!" Went on a consistent daily meditation run that took me to a place where there is NO TIME OR SPACE. Love to study the meaning of life, metaphysics. Matt Clarkson, David Childerly, many more

Band Members: I started making my own mind movies this summer and it is an amazing visualization tool. There’s a super easy kit, you can get one by visiting www.mindmoviesUSA.com and click on the guy to find out more!I’ve been on here for just over a year already. Since I have searched and found the talent I have been craving, the more I realize how MUCH amazing talent there is! My dream has always been to have one of my songs cut, well before that I wanted to be a singer, and before that I wanted to be an actress, and before that I just wanted to be a kid. I have a mound of songs as old as I am. Sometimes getting a song cut feels much akin to climbing Mount Everest. I’ll bet it feels really good to reach the top of that mountain and to look down for once! I have learned to be happy right here through meditation. (A song cut would be even better though lol!) Here’s hoping that you attain all of your dreams, live each day with joy and deep appreciation keeping inspired, and desiring more!
