I am a lover of all music and am especially dedicated to the preservation and promotion of blues music as a cultural art form. I am actively involved in the Southern California blues community and am now hittin' the streets of Memphis.I am a booking and event coordinator who produces/coordinates festivals, shows and fundraising events at various venues throughout California. I also enjoy reading and creative writing in my personal time and recently began publishing a modest quarterly blues newsletter for the SCBS membership./div
I'd like to meet:
FOLKS! Folks who are genuine, honest and sincere. The kind who light up rooms, make you smile and you just know that you are a better person for having shared time in your life with them. Folks who are willing to think outside the box. Folks who love music, most particularly the Blues... and I don't even care if ya'll eat meat!!

Music:
I love and listen to the Blues most of the time..naturally. Female vocalists are my favorites. Anyone and everyone from Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Big Maybelle, Big Mama Thorton, Chicago's Finest Blues Women, Koko Taylor, and Etta James, right up to the new and up coming like little Jessie Payo and my good friend Sherry Pruitt...to name afew...there are just so many great female vocalists that I love and hold dear to my heart...I hope you all know who you are!! I have an appreciation for all kinds of music but especially like music that is truly blues rooted...my music collection literally consists of thousands of lps and cds of various types of music from blues, big band, jazz, motown, old school, funk, and reggae...by the way does anyone own a turntable?PROPS TO THE LADIES OF THE BLUES
