About Me

Angela Silva-Sheppard or SilvanSongs.....I am not limited by music style...I will use classical, ambient, rock, country or blues to make my point....an unusual mix but I am an unusual musican. I am self taught for the most part...I do enjoy playing violin and the piano, I've tried my hand at different kinds of percussion, am getting better with the guitar and saxophone... in recent years, I have fallen head over heels for the Electric Bass........Using a version of Pro-Tracts, I have been able to record the music that floats in my mind all the time by playing all the instruments well, most of the instruments...singing the vocal and the backup vocals (with a little help from my daughter Kellie) and mixing them.Thanks so much for stopping by,Angela

The new pic really shows the outcome of my struggle with the weight loss surgery I inflicted on myself. I have to tell all that say it's the easy way out or that it's in anyway a magic...
