About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I AM A MOM NOW. I'm also a rock-woman, and I've had an illustrious past. Now I live a simple and semi-reclusive life with my family in beautiful Sonoma County USA. Originally born in Laguna Beach CA, I had an early life of surfy sunshine and the Pacific Ocean practically in my backyard. Punk Rock pulled me to Hollywood in 1980 and changed the course of my existence. My migration north eventually led me to SF where I settled for the next 20 + years.... HISTORY WILL NOT REPEAT ITSELF, IT WAS WHAT IT WAS: I played in many, many bands, played tons of shows and toured my ass off. I was a "Grrrl Musician from SF" at one time. For a long time. (Tragic Mulatto, Mudwimin, Frightwig, Black Manna etc etc ETC.) People tell me I'm "old school", whatever that means. I can't label what genre it was that I participated in but most might agree that the music I played was art gone wrong, damaged and daring, and never sold out. I've always been drawn to heavy ambient noise-making and distorted feedback. I'm told that I'm a badass drummer, but really I'm shy at heart and drums are very good armor. I've thrashed my way thru life on bass and guitar, & sung my heart out well............. {{{{{{ LET FREEDOM RING}}}}}}.......I came around & realized that I need no audience and no applause. Freeing myself from needing an audience's approval is quite liberating, really. And now my world is a better place. It's opened me to new possibilities since I experienced a major paradigm shift, musically. I guess if anyone is really that curious and wants to know more about the wilder, or more 'interesting' era's of my life, they might ask someone besides myself who witnessed my musical/ punk rock/whatever existance - really, my own perspective is hard to put into words. It felt much different for me when I was in it, than it apparantly did for everyone else. In general, I have no regrets for anything in my life, most especially not for moving onward. I have a much easier time being in the present, and in the NOW. And allowing myself to persue my true desires and personal interests really has led me to become more of the person I should be NOW...{{{{ LOVE IS WHO I AM }}} : I've probably broken a lot more hearts than I even know, and for that I'm truly sorry. On the other hand, my heart has been broken time and again as well, providing the fuel for my fire for as long as I chose to let it live on. But then finally something clicked:::: I was never one to believe in love at first sight, until the day I met a stranger, and yes in an instant I knew we'd be together forever. It does happen, unconditional & meaningful love that is-- even for the most free of birds. The result of letting pure love into my heart is my beautiful daughter who is a star of the heavens. She looks totally like a combination of both her daddy and me, and yet I'm not sure where she gets her personality-- she's such her own beautiful & silly little individual person unto herself. She gets more and more beautiful with each passing moment, and is growing up faster in body & mind than I can keep up with. Having Estella Celeste in my world teaches me something new and amazing every day. {{{{ MAXIMUM LOVE & HAPPINESS }}}}}: Right now life is very sweet and B.Nonymous is totally alive, healthy and mui tranquilo. I'm all grown up. I didn't kill myself with all the risks I took. I finally found my true calling which is to be a mom, as well as my other true calling: teaching music to kids and encouraging future generations to express themselves freely thru music and beautiful noise......................{{{{ I AM A ROCK WOMAN }}}}} : Music is in my blood. I got the music in me. I am heavily tattooed. I'm a loving and patient mother and wife, a dreamer, a believer, a sister, a trusted friend, I'm more than able to carry a tune and make music & rhythms, I'm a fearless traveler, I'm good with map, I'm an excellent driver, a lover, a fighter, a rock star, an adventure specialist, and (fill in the blank here)__________________.

I'd like to meet:

People who believe in me.I will humbly and gratefully put gifts of musical instruments to positive use. It is my desire that the little kids I teach (aged birth to 5 years) will get REAL hands on experience and exposure to a wide variety of musical cultures, as well as experience in a rich spectrum of rhythms & sounds that the next generation of music makers deserve. I need your help collecting instruments and cool sounding things for kids to make music and noise with....Right now my wish list is: Congas, Gathering drum, Talking drum, Marimba, Ukeulele, Autoharp, Shakers & clackers of all sorts, Bells, Gongs, Chimes, Wooden Instruments from different cultures, Finger drums, Frame drums, etc... anything at all that is a unique or traditional instrument that makes interesting sounds for babies & kids to explore. This in turn will captivate & open the musical minds of children, and help to pave the way for their positive future.
