About Me


Hey you......welcome! Enjoy the stay, however short or long.
The first time I performed was when I was three. At four my brother taught me to write and my first poem around that time was about the sun (very short). When I was eight I got a guitar for Christmas. I played my first paying gig at twelve and saved up my money to buy a guitar case (: I think music and poetry, really all the arts, are wonderful blessings, a testament to humanity's fine spirit and moving soul. Have a delighted day/evening/night.
Namaste

I have several other sites, some of them alter-egos, you can visit, if you're so inclined:
myspace.com/lieselava (my spiritual self)
myspace.com/paulinelange (my German self)
indiaturner.net (for more music)
poetryandtea.blogspot.com (Tea and Poetry and those little Sandwiches)
There is no hero section on music profiles. But I want to mention a few of mine:
My mother and father, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Barak Obama, President Carter, Rosa Parks, ML King, Gandhi, Howard Dean, Richard Branson, Bobo, and all the people working so diligently to bring about the transformation of our species' consciousness.
