I grew up in southern Illinois near St. Louis and music has always been a big part of my life. Many nights as a little girl I would push two chairs together in a bar to sleep while my dad played the fiddle jamming with other musicians. As a teenager I became a hippie child and escaped into my radio! I saw the Beatles perform at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, went through two marriages, worked really hard and raised two beautiful daughters on my own. I'm a warm weather person at heart and gravitate to tropical beaches just about anywhere, but especially love Hawaii and the people who "hang loose". Music is my passion in life and Nashville, TN is also a great place to be, almost my second home. Chances are that you will find me anywhere within driving distance that has a good band! I've met a lot of very cool and talented people in my life and am privileged to call some of them friends. We also have bonded with our St. Louis brother, the “Father of Rock & Roll” - Mr. Chuck Berry, who celebrated his 81st birthday in October, and is still rockin’!! All of us can only hope to be that lucky.
