About Me

I'm happily married to Aaron and have a wonderful son Wesley. I work full time and he schools full time (essentially it's work too!). I play in a celtic rock band as well (www.mothergrove.com) and you can also catch me adding a little fiddle to the rockin' Aaron Pelsue Band at East 91st on Sunday mornings (www.east91st.org). Now I love to sing and playing fiddle is just plain fun. Classical music is cool too, but there's nothing like a jam session and writing music/lyrics to make my heart sing! For those who want to know - I play with a Zeta Strados pickup on an acoustic as well as a Barcus Berry pickup on my back-up instrument. I've had lots of requests for info on the funky jewelry that I've been wearing on stage. To design and order your own: talk to Claire at her website www.word4worddesign.com. She's an artistic genius!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Michael W. Smith, Hugh Laurie (from "House") and Simon Cowell (he's just too interesting a character to pass up!). And Peter Petrelli (the character from "Heroes") would be completely cool as well!

Friends....

Just wanted to say - I finally decided to quit dealing with the "top friends" and started randomizing.  I've got a lot of friends and I hate prioritizing them all the time.  This way maybe i...

Gotta say - it's extremely distracting to try and play/sing/dance on stage while watching these ladies do their very talented stuff on the dance floor!  Pardon the terrible sound - but hey - if ...
