About Me


I've lived here in Los Angeles for most of my life. Mainly, I work as an administrator, but I also enjoy music and poetry as a means of getting through the everyday ups and downs.I'm also an amateur singer (alto), and would like to sing again in a group or ensemble. On and off through the years I've sang mainly in ensembles and choirs at different churches and schools.I currently hold membership with the Los Angeles Early Music Society (2002 to Present.) I also volunteer whenever I can.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


LIVING, OR IF THEY WERE STILL LIVING:

1) Michael McGlynn - Composer & Director of Anuna (b. 1964)
2) John McGlynn - Singer/Songwriter (b. 1964)
3) John Dowland - Composer (1563 - 1626)
4) Arturo Toscanni - Conductor (1867 - 1957)
5) Marian Anderson - Contralto (1897 - 1993)
6) John Denver - Singer/Songwriter (1943 - 1997)
7) Jules Massenet - Composer (1842 - 1912)
8) Maurice Ravel - Composer (1875 - 1937) With the exception of "Bolero." Not one of my favorites.
9) Glenn Miller - Band Leader, Ace Arranger, Trombonist (1904 - 1944)
10) Huell Howser - Travel and educational host (b. 1946)

Of course, there's lots more but this is a good start.

Music:

I pretty much like most styles from world music, pop, classical (mainly Sacred, Early Music, Baroque, The Impressionists), Rhythm n' Blues, gospel, jazz, and the various types of traditional music.

Television:

Mostly documentaries. California's Gold, Visiting, and Road Trip w/Huell Howser. They mainly deal with traveling within our own State of California. Mr. Howser seems to have a knack finding these great little out-of-the way places, and bringing the best out of everyone he interviews. Some places I've visited and some others I plan for in the future. I've been watching his shows for many years and I've had the pleasure of speaking with him on the phone a couple of years ago. I want to one day meet him face to face just simply to tell him that whether he realizes it or not he truly is....California's Gold.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ, The Apostle Paul

Art
