Mangos & Marley

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I was raised by two very talented musicians, who just happened to fall in love and get married. Coincidently, they happen to be my parents. You could say I was born with a love for music. I was born and raised in Washington, but prefer a more tropical locale. Give me some palm trees and I'll be happy.

My Interests

Among my many interests are reading, pets, crocheting, scrapbooking, traveling, fishing, boating and the beach. My absolute passion is Music.Performing,writing,listening--I don't care in what capacity, I just want to be involved in it somehow.I've been told I sing really well, and appear as a guest artist once in awhile with local bands.

Music:

Music is my passion. I can't imagine a life without song. I have a great appreciation for most styles of music, and the dedication that the artists have for their craft. I am a fan of many different artists, and have a very eclectic collection of cd's. I also enjoy writing my own music, though not many people have heard any of my songs. As I add to myspace, I will post some songs for ya'll

Television:

I watch too much tv...lol! I love the Law & Order shows, they are my favorite.Also Boston Legal,that show cracks me up! Occasionally I will get drawn into the reality shows, but am losing interest in them for the most part. American Idol is cool, however they need to let some more "mature" singers like me on the show!Past tv shows that I love include: Homicide, Miami Vice, and Nash Bridges

Books:

My favorite author is Carl Hiaasen. He has a very interesting writing style, and I value the way he writes about environmental issues. I also enjoy reading books by John D. MacDonald and John Grisham.I really enjoy a good mystery book.

Heroes:

My mother & father, and my grandparents. Musical heros...Bob Wills, Bob Marley,Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris,Jimmy Buffett. Bands that are so great that play good music but never get played on the radio much because they aren't "commercial" enough.

I Never Cared For You

Sometimes I find a song that fits the moment or emotion. When you find that someone isn't who they portray themselves to be it creates a lot of hurt and pain. These lyrics by Willie Nelson seem so app...
