About Me

I came into this world singing. I've performed in the NYC area on and off for over 20 years - with the exception of a recent 5-year siesta in Tucson, Arizona, where I enjoyed performing in the 2001 Tucson Folk Festival and in other venues.My first band at 15 in the late 70's was "Brother and Sister" (band members, anyone?). My second band in the early 90's was "Lazy Susans" (yes, 2 Susans).I've had the great fortune of sharing the stage and performing with many musicians I admire, including Aztec Two-Step, Richard Shindell, Cliff Eberhardt, John Gorka, Richie Havens, Dave van Ronk and guitarist Marc Shulman, to name a few.My gratitude is endless for the myriad teachers, influences and inspirations over the years, including Ben Lee, Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman, Neil Young, Ani DiFranco, Michael Hedges, David Wilcox, The Taylor family, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Cockburn, The Roches, John Gorka, my friend, Susan, and my family - well as many friends here at MYSPACE whom you might want to check out on this page.These days I mostly perform for and collaborate with my NOW 5-year-old daughter, Anna, but I hope to be writing and performing again in the future.In the meantime, I'm always listening for the harmony...Thanks to all of you who've inquired about when I'll be uploading some of my music. WELL, THE MUSIC IS FINALLY HERE! I hope you all enjoy it. And after too many years, I hope to be writing some new tunes soon!

MY TUNES ARE FINALLY HERE!

Whew! What an unexpected Thanksgiving gift from my former music partner (as well as my oldest and dearest friend), and her brother who recorded all our music back in the day.  I hope you all...
