About Me

Thanks to LaDean, and her curiosity, I get to play with a band of fantastic musicians. Just now, we’re a single car garage band. I’m in my corner, as far away as possible, because I’m soooo loud. Seriously folks, I’m lovin every minute, and can’t wait til we are on the loose playing live some where! I’ve played with a "band" before, but not a five piece. In college, I played in a "folk rock" group called Lark. We did not have a drummer, and we sat in chairs as an acoustical group. It was fun, til we broke up after a year, trying to incorporate a drummer! Later in life, I got to tour the planet with Yanni...there was a drummer. That was a blast. So I’m thrilled to be a part of a rock band, playing viola, and maybe singing,or whatever! I Have to thank my late father for starting me on violin when I was five. He was my first teacher, and duet partner.
