About Me

genevive likes to write songs. She also likes to do math.

genevive writes songs like a cowgirl lassoes a wayward calf. You can almost hear her chasing an idea around the muddy corral of thought, wrapping her mind around it's legs and dragging it home for dinner.

genevive does math like an old man runs a marathon. She can do it but it's slow, painful yet admirable as at least she tries. Basically, the reason I am telling you this is that she can do a lot of things, but it's obvious which ones she is strongest at.

Video recorded at the Acoustic Lounge August 2nd 2005.
Accompanied by Craig Mitchell.
