This page is dedicated with love to my dear, sweet mother, Jean who shared with me her own love of music. I have been a huge music fan my entire life. My mother used to play the radio for me when I took my afternoon naps. She was a big traditional Country Music fan and introduced me to all the greats: Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Buck Owens, and Johnny Cash just to name a few. My first "crush" on a singer was Eddy Arnold when I was about 3 years old. When I was 13, I was introduced to The Beatles. Unfortunately, they had already broken up by this time, but when I first heard "I Am the Walrus", I was completely blown away! What was this new and foreign sound (at least to me!)? There was no turning back at that point, and I have been a die-hard Beatles fan ever since. It's been over 30 years, and my love for them is still strong...they have been the biggest musical influence on my life. Thank you John, Paul, George and Ringo...You've always been with me through thick and thin. And thank you, Mommy, for giving me the gift of music and life.
