Total prude! Truly. Naw...i've just been blessed with a boo-koo of good friends in my life, three amazing SONS, some kick - @#$! Angels, (who have a full time job watching out for those 3 sons!), a headful of songs... AND a twin Sister. Now who can say that? So, i consider myself blessed.Guess i see life thru kaleidoscope glasses....i'm never bored. (Or, perhaps i bore easily and so quickly do something else????) i dunno. Still trying to figure that one out. i think life is about Balance....it's gotta be one of the most beautiful words in the language - it's so poignant. i wish we all could find that....somehow.One of the greatest traits i find in a person is kindness...above all else...and i think if a person based every decision upon that, we'd all be ok - this old world would be a much better place! Think about it. We would definately have a healthy planet! Perhaps that's very simplistic thinking, but, i think it's true. For me, it is, anyway.i haven't really said that much about my life. "Once upon a time...."..we were born...(obviously!)... in Los Angeles, CA. Our Gramma was one of the Nurses on duty when we were born, and we've loved her ever since! We lived in several states all our lives...Cali, Utah, Texas, Nevada. Lived in Branson, Mo. a few years too. Now i've been in Nashville several years...and, Grams and Mama are in Heaven. Kind of a blur. Miss them SO!!Had a lot of unusual jobs - i guess i should say "situationally challenging"...thus my appreciation for ones more in keeping with my being! i love to create things. i've done a lot of costumes for people. Worked at "Mirage" in Vegas a lot of years, for "Siegfried and Roy"...that was awesome! i was treated excellently there. And, recently, did some shows/costumes for "St. George Musical Theatre". But, my real heart is in music. i looooove to write songs...been writing them since i was a kid; and i play piano. (i prefer the feel of 88, thank You very much!) Had quite a few years of classical training. i don't claim to be a singer; i really admire people who can sing from their heart, and aren't afraid to do so! Any styles. i myself like music that sounds like music, You know? And, lyrics that say something - gives one something to chew on. Currently, i am working on demos for my songs, and, gaining the courage to share those! Wishing You all peaceful paths. "and They all lived....ever after". Now - Your turn! Keep heart, Cholly
