CURRENT * CURRENT * CURRENT * CURRENT * CURRENT* CURRENT ************************ Can't believe how quick the time is flying! Steve leaves soon, it's going to be tooooooo quiet here at home and I will miss him terribly. I should be able to get back and see my son and daughter in the UK at some stage, my mates Deb and Colin, then off to Spain to see mum and dad, from one hot place to another. It's going to be 110 degrees in Scottsdale this Sunday, phew............beat that Alicante! It's been crazy here, lots of interviews to do with 'Hymns For Guitar' and Steve's next CD 'Short Stories' which will be out very SOON! I am warbling a little on that. The reviews for the hymns will start appearing in July. I have loads to do here so no time to mope about.

An excellent debut album from such a classy singer, my tired ears haven’t been so vocally soothed for a long time” ............................................................ ..................................... BLUES MATTERS! (Dec 2004) ....... “A remarkable debut album by a Brit.girl and what's more all self composed!!” Here is a lady that certainly deserves some attention.. Where has she been hiding all these years? Maturing like a good wine is my only answer!"
