Taz Halloween was born in Savannah, Georgia (Chatham County)in 1960 to a multi-media voice & personality man & a beautiful artist /social worker. Her Biological father was known as Dr. Blues for his soulful radio programs. Taz came into this world howling - screamed bloody murder @ thunder as a child, but LOVES a good southern rumbler now. These are some of the elements that taught her to wail & sing. Her sister, Taffy, taught her some of what she knows on guitar & the rest she made up or asked patient folks how to do what they were doin'.Used to be ya' couldn't pry the dang thing out of her clingin' hands, but she ran out of things to teach herself & wandered around to make noise on other things. She's mostly a rythm player in all of her dabblings, but tends to do all of the "lead" type work with her voice. She is a "closet" percussionist (most wish she would keep it there), but I guess she just likes to get back at the thunder that terrified her as a child.She now lives in Pittsboro, NC (Chatham County)
Just ta' letcha know - The musicians on "What would Sam Clemens Say" are The inimitable Stu Cole & The inimitable Nate Stalfa.(& Taz Halloween on vocals & keys) I wrote the song, but Stu did most of the production on this version. Nate came all the way from Nashville with a snare drum on his knee, so please give him LOTS OF LOVE on his page! I soon will put this song up for sale because I would like to pay Stu & Nate for their talent, but please feel free to download & share with friends for now!
The other song posted is my entry for the "Henry Poole Is Here" contest - I didn't make it, but am leaving the song up for a few days for my new cyber friends that entered the contest to hear.
I removed the Sam Clemens slide show because I want to make a new one - coming soon!
I found the 7 year old videos of Kitty Box & the Alley Cats - courtesy of Craig (Armada Music.com & the Cave) & got such a kick out of them - thought ya'll might too! Don't care for my singin', but miss the fun I used to be & have! And of course am happy to have some live footage of Tim Barnes, Nathan Logan, Pat Barnes & Stevie Hamlin!Below is a race between The Pie in the Sky & Death - Marty says : "Why doesn't the Pie in the Sky just turn & smack death in the face?!"
