About Me

I've been fortunate to share a stage with incredible songwriters and fine musicians. My days in Greenwich village and at festivals around the North East passed from time to time with Dave Van Ronk, Arlo Guthrie, Cliff Eberhardt, David Massengill, David Amram, Suzanne Vega, Christine Lavin....After time off for birthing babies, mine and others, the slow but somewhat steady work on my "long awaited" CD has begun. In the meanwhile, I'm getting out. Catch me if you can, I'd be glad to meet you.
