About Me

When I was ten I used to steal Linda's Silvertone out from under her bed when she wasn't around and copy her I was always copying my older sister Linda (Sunshine) when I turned 13 she gave me one of my own for my birthday so I would have to say that she had the biggest influence on me becoming a musician My father played piano and listened to all kinds of Jazz and folk and off the map stuff. He taught me how to hear what was good and why it was good Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, Willie Wright,Steve Noonan,Eartha Kitt I loved Judy Garland as a kid, and Tony Bennet I copied the way they expressed their emotions through their voices. I always felt that a single person singing from their heart was one of the most powerful experiences you could have as a human being. I believe the truth of love expressed in this way can unlock any soul- even if only for a moment. It presents the possibility to rise above the fear and loveSO yea I haven't had a lot of commercial success, but my life has been a wonderful unfolding of feelings and experiences and steps towards freeing myself from fear and standing with honor and gratitude I don't think there is a category for that at Wal Mart.
