okay. let's see.... i grew up a very quiet child in oak cliff, south of the trinity river in dallas, tx. when i got out of high school, i just said " here i am world, take me!" and it did.... fast forward a little... i took to the 70's like a bird takes to flying, got married, had kids (twins, no less!) and decided that the "white-picket-fence" life was not for me. came back to texas, got divorced, and met slim, and completely changed my life, again. he put a bass in my hands the day after we got married (the second and "official" time), and i knew that this was what i wanted to do FOREVER! i had found my calling, my bliss! fast forward to right now... slim and i have 4 killer bands. one is called the KAT'S MEOW with KAT EDMONSON and LAURA MORDECAI; another one is called JITTERBUG VIPERS, with an assorted and various array of very talented people including KATIE HOLMES, JON DOYLE, THAD SCOTT, PAUL KLEMPERER, MASUMI JONES, SUGAH JAMES GWYNN, and god knows who else might show up to join in the festivities....another one of our bands is IN THESE SHOES, featuring vocalist GAILA KENNEALLY, sometimes SPEEDY GONZALES (grupo fantasma), and BETH GALIGER. we also play with SARAH SHARP, who just won the 2008/2009 Austin Chronicle's Music Award for Best Performing Jazz Band. You can find one of these bands playing anywhere from 4 to 6 nights a week around austin, tx mostly, as well as the DFW area, and are branching out even more as i type this... we've played at several festivals (kerrville, old settler's, jazz on the boulevard in fort worth, jazz alive in san antonio, the corpus christi jazz festival....) and are looking to play at more! check out our band pages while you are here!
