Dare to Dream

About Me

I am a very deep person with a true compasion for love life and music! I am misunderstood most of the time, except for those who are like me or those who are true compasionate human beings, who take no part in envy, greed, or jealousy-I have been involved in the music scene in Chicago in one form or another since the early 80's. Just recently I was doing bookings and promotions, and had the honor of managing a "kick ass" metal band "SHADOWSIDE" fronted by the beautiful Dani Nolden of Brazil.Due to personal reasons, I had to take a break and concentrate on my children, but now I am back! While I was on that break, something was missing from my life, and I have come to realize, that it is my passion , my life's work to be involved in the music business and I am not happy unless music is a part of my life. So here we go G!I have a very good friend, my best friend, I believe she is an angel - Yes, "G" I'm talking about you!I am a very grounded earthy person. I love the philosophy of martial arts! Thanks Nick! I love animals,children and old people! Old people make me smile! I always help them when I can!I am a very spiritual person that absolutely believes we are governed by a loving higher power.I hate liars, backstabbers and fake people! I see right through you...........I am very forgiving and if you love me I will love you forever..........if not I will love you anyway........I am a great friend who will always do anything for you!My family means the world to me and so do my dogs. Most of the time, I would rather be with them than most humans I know!I have the most adorable precious children on the planet, who will be raised to be kind,loving and respectful, just like my daddy taught me, I miss you dad, I wish you could have met them.........I love music....all types ! Classical, classic rock, old school metal, but a true 80's rock chick at heart! I do not dance, to me during the 80's we never did! It was all about the live performances of rock and roll and just watching the energy projected on the stage!I love long hair on men, it's nice to look at someone pretty ! It shows a good balance , the ultimate balance of a little yin with the yang. - Must be my 80's roots comin through! I wish they looked like that again, and I admire the ones that dare to be different and still do!Ive met many cool people that were idols of sorts to me, Slash, an absolute sweetheart, thanks for the dinner invite and yes he had the hat on! Micheal Schenker, thanks for the guitar lesson, and yes it was on the black and white "V"! Robin McCauley, Keanue Reeves, Steve Jones from the legendary Sex Pistols, Mick Jones, Foreigners guitar player, he liked John! Duff of G&R, John Taylor (Duran, Duran). Steven Piercy, Bobby Blotzer, and Ron Jeremy, all assholes I must say! Vinny Paul, and Phil of Pantera, very cool, thanks for pulling me out of the pit Phil and backstage in Little Rock! Rita, Dime's chick, on my 30th birthday in Dallas at the Basement, thanks for being such a cool chick, we had a blast! Mark Slaughter, Jani Lane (loved our nite of song conversation!) the legendary Jim Peterick, of Survivor (eye of the tiger writer) and the Ides of March, Josey Scott of Saliva, to me he will always be Joseph Sappington from Green Dolphin Street in Memphis (my former roomate), The Rev. Al Green from my Memphis days, along with Blues legend, Bobby Bluebland, Pete Way of UFO, Jeff Pilsen of Dokken, Sebastian Bach (with a towel on his head- omg!) Joan Jett, very cool chick! and many more.............it's always exciting to meet someone you have grown up watching and admiring!I hope for this list to grow , as there is nothing cooler to me than to meet another inspiration!If I could be anything ........I'd be an angel.....but who knows, maybe I already am!
