About Me

I am a professional woodwind player, mainly for musical theater, but also general freelancing (church, weddings, studio, etc). My "main" instruments are oboe & English horn, but I also play clarinet, flute and sax. Other instruments that I play are recorders, pennywhistles, and various ethnic winds, but a big love for me are handbells. I am currently on the road with the national tour of The Producers... what a great show! Our cast, crew and pit are simply *amazing!* I am sooo privileged to be performing with people of this caliber! *woo-hoo!*While I've been on tour, I started beading... check out some of my stuff and let me know what you think... Thanks!

My Interests

Well, besides music... I like to read Fantasy books (many authors, but some are Tolkien, Anne Rice, Anne McCaffrey, L.E. Modesitt, R.A. Salvatore, Robert Jordan); I am also a big Trekker (note, not Trekkie!) ;-)

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can be around me and my often quirky personality :-) I like people who take pride in being different.

Music:

hmmm... I *LOVE* playing and listening to all types of what the general public calls "classical" music, but I especially like baroque and Impressionist. I like to go out to hear live jazz as well and I am trying to vary my musical palate... Sufjan Stevens (love his new Christmas stuff!), Loreena McKennitt

Movies:

All of The Lord of the Rings, Stranger Than Fiction (wow!), Strictly Ballroom, Stand By Me, Brokeback Mountain, Bend It Like Beckham, Erin Brokovich, Pay It Forward, the original Star Wars Trilogy (saw them in the theaters!), ADD is setting in, can't think of any more...

Television:

Star Trek (TNG, DS9 & VOY), Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Commander In Chief, Scrubs, M*A*S*H, Alias, Battlestar Galactica (old and new), Heroes

Books:

Fantasy, Star Trek...

Heroes:

My HS band director, Bud Behrens... we argued about my wanting to play the oboe, but after he gave in, he really pushed me; also my friend Sean Franz, who, after graduating college just recently, was hired onto a Broadway show (Go Sean!)

My Blog

my first post (how dumb a name is that?) ;-)

So, I've had this thing for a couple of years, but I was just using it in order to view friends' pics... I've decided to go ahead and try actually using it to keep in touch with people and just to hav...
