I'd like to meet:
I hope that one day I will meet all of the little people I taught long ago (as well as the older siblings that spent time with me). They became part of my heart forever. I told them I loved them, and I meant it.I'd also love to meet other self-representing vocalists/musically oriented artists who are marketing their talents. I'm also interested in getting to know artists of realistic style painting/drawing, artists involved in the faux finishing/mural business, and/or "artists" of photography. Finally, I'm also very interested in networking with writers of all sorts.I love people who are creative. I am always most inspired when I am around people who enjoy live-music and those who love nature.
I adore people who don't get hung up on ages and cover packages, people who try to make a difference EVERY day, and people who are not afraid to be truthful to themselves, foremost.
For me, "the look" is nice, but a good "inside surprise" is what really makes my day!
I am not interested in building relationships with guys who are looking for anything more than a great friendship or business relationship.I am happily married to my soul mate.

** NOTE TO FRIENDS**
For now, I have eliminated the larger Friend's List. I will rotate friends from time to time. Please know that you are all important and special to me. Thanks.
Music:
This was a gift to me today from one of my newest heroines, Gaile. If you love really good blues people visit her here:
www.myspace.com/gailewelker
I place it here in this section in honor of her incredible and special son, Lee Welker. They have both touched my heart with familiarities, friendship, and I believe . . . the long musical fingers of God.

I love all music. I also have an appreciation for most poetry in music when it comes from sincere, honest, and raw emotion. I don't care for poetry or music that is harmful toward the mind and psychology of children. I also don't care much for music/poetry oriented toward gender bashing or that devalues family.
I LOVE MUSIC!!!!

This is a picture of my Dad and me at my wedding reception ~ I wouldn't leave the party until the piano man played!
People have told me I sound like Karen Carpenter, Barbra Streisand, Bonnie Raitt, and even Pat Benatar. (I also dabble in some operatic vibes on a rare and special occasion.)

God is the greatest hero. He used to speak to me when I was a child. (This is not the slightest exaggeration of the truth.) Are you one of my heroes?
