About Me


WHAT'S MY DEAL?
Music and Travel. Travelling for music is a bonus.
I'M A BIG FAN, SUPPORTER AND ADVOCATE OF INDIE MUSIC.
"I love music. Music is my life. I love my life" -AJM
I have too many interests to list...I'm usually game!
I am officially addicted to SCUBA diving.
I miss the mountains.
I'm a Coconut: Brown on the outside, white on the inside.
I'm a professional and independant woman but can do the whole feminine thing too.
I won't squeal if my hair gets wet in the rain.
I can be a huge goofball.
I love to love the important people in my life.
I once carried a tune in a bucket.
I love a good Gin and Tonic, preferably Bombay. I'm extra fun when these are being served.
I'm not a neat freak yet I'm not a slob.
I'm assertive yet extremely open.
I love putting on pajama pants after a day of playing dress-up.
Junior Mints are yummy.
I am a true Gemini and love to be around people yet need my solitude sometimes.
Dirt under my nails doesn't freak me out.
I think everyone should vote for Pedro.
Love watching basketball, especially MARCH MADNESS.
I enjoy the fine things in life but value the simple things more.
My 3 yr. old niece and 1 yr. old nephew make me melt.
I can be showered and ready to leave the house in 20 minutes flat...dry hair and all.
I laugh at myself...A LOT!!
Travel and music are big passions of mine. BIG. REALLY BIG.
My favorite hat is my old faded UK Wildcats cap.
I'm active but not a slave to exercise.
The little things are what truly move me.
Stephen Wright's humor kills me.
I am very close to my family, although they are geographically far away.
White water rafting is a blast.
I consider my friends to be my extended family.
Harry Potter is a cool dude.
I've decided that I really love beaches and blue water.

My Interests



LOOK OVER THERE -------------------

Cool footage of SCUBA diving around the world...someday I'll see all of these amazing creatures.

Have a look at 14 year old Joy Newell's astonishing work. She is a brilliant artist.

I'd like to meet:



I like people who understand, "I GOT A FEVER AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE COWBELL!"

In-Flight Safety represents the Maritimes with their incredible talent and humility. A band that has an international following, In-Flight Safety will no doubt be a force in the music scene for a long time to come.



Keep an eye out for Canadian band "KID GIB"

A band that is gaining attention everywhere. Better get your album soon! Four great guys that together create their own instinctive, mindblowing brand of Rock and Roll. Prepare to be rocked by DREAMS OF TREASON .

Much respect to Alex, Dave, Chris and Adam!
-Your Saskatoon Team, Roz and Jenn

Music:

I don't even know where to start here. I love anything from General Public to The Eagles to Black Eyed Peas to Josh Groban to Maroon 5 to Holly Cole to The Smiths to Journey to George and Ira Gershwin to Keith Urban to John Mayer to The Boss to Sublime to Dreams of Treason to Ella Fitzgerald to Blink 182 to Renee Olstead to Depeche Mode to KT Tunstall to Matchbox 20 (no, not Twenty) to Green Day to Goo Goo Dolls to The Beatles to Billie Holiday to Justin Timberlake to Tim Vaughn to Beastie Boys to Violent Femmes to Nelly Furtado to Bob Marley to Al Green to BB King and everything in between. I have a soft spot for old British rock/alternative/punk too. Loving funk/blues/R&B feel right now. Also anything with a latin or reggae vibe. I'm big on the Standards and the ones who made them "Standards". Oh, and I gotta mention Kelly Clarkson and "Baby Jane". Ecclectic, some would say! "Desperado" is lyrically and musically my favorite song...it is brilliant. Don and Glenn are genius.
