Laugh out Loud & Let Your Light Shine Bright!!!!

About Me


I sing and play guitar... writing & performing originals, while working on many artistic projects of my own as a solo/duo or band and singing with several other band projects - "Richard Bicknell and the Shameless Lovers", "Queenie Mullinix and the Sidekicks".... as well as many other folks I sit in with on a regular basis. I also host Southern Comfort Open Mics for Open Mic Atlanta on occasion.I love life! I love people! I love the arts in all their myriad forms! I HOPE TO CREATE EVERY DREAM I EVER WANTED TO COME TRUE. I love fun and excitement, and can't sit still. I love to sing, write, paint, sculpt, create!!! I love to surround myself with positive people who uplift, inspire me, and make me laugh. I also love to be a positive, uplifting influence for others, and try to use my music, art and counseling as a vehicle for this. I am very spiritual, but not religious. One of my favorite bumper stickers says, "Sorry, my Karma just ran over your dogma!". I Love to Love and help make others smile & laugh! Lead a blessed life! PEACE!!!!

My Interests

Music, singing, playing, listening, Visual arts, people, motorcycle rides, dancing, fun, nature, meditation, laughing, loving, learning, sharing, counseling, PEACE!

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I listen to all types, even some kinds I don't enjoy. I think it helps to build a better cultural understanding of others and yourself. What I like is newer alternative rock, old rock, blues, R & B, folk, classical, jazz, etc., etc., even some rap. In my turntable now is Joni Mitchell, Radiohead, Katy Moffatt, Coldplay, Mars Volta, White Stripes. Subject to change every second.

Television:

Don't have time to watch TV

Heroes:

My Mom & Dad, my Sister, Robin-for being a wonderful mother, daughter and friend, all my close friends who are always there for me, anyone who is living and fullfilling their dreams. Jesus, Buddha, Kuan Yin, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., Dalai Lama, Jampa Tenzin, Joan of Arc, Robin Hood, Oprah, Princess Diana, Red Cloud, Any Native American who fought to save their homeland and their freedom, and make peace, all American soldiers who have or are risking their lives for my freedom (whether you believe in the war or not), "Frodo" (my cat), "Mercedes, Little Bear, Cheyenne, Apache, Mister, Bobby, Precious, Lady, Timothy" (dogs I've loved), anyone who can get off drugs and stay clean, anyone who graduates from high school, anyone who leaves an abusive partner and starts a new life. Anyone who overcomes disabilities or health problems in a positive way. Anyone who takes the time to help others.Anyone who has the guts to not give up on their dreams. The world is full of heroes! Sorry if left someone out LOL
