My Interests

Music is my passion, my life and my gift. It consumes me. However, when I take a break from that I enjoy travel. A cruise at least once a year keeps me sane. I love the "un-hooked" feeling of being on the ocean and not worrying about a thing!! I love the beach, the hot weather and the sand! Enjoy playing tennis, swimming or playing volleyball. In my next life I will be a professional volleyball player!! I love good food, and even enjoy cooking, but dont ask me to clean up the mess!

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Reba Rambo. I have admired the Singing Rambos ever since I was a child in the 70's. Their progressive style of music shaped a lot of who I am today. I loved the harmony. They were the trail blazers of Contemporary music, and I am eternally grateful for their passion to sing, write and deliver their soul to us. I will Miss Dottie. She was a wonderful, wonderful lady, songwriter and such a giver of her talents.Andrae Crouch. "You don't have to Jump no pew"!! Andrae Crouch nurtured the soul in me! I appreciate his talent then and even now!Richard Smallwood, Edwin Hawkins. Donald Lawrence & Tri-City Singers... flawless!!

Music:

Music is my life. It is a gift from God. Hearing "bad" notes sometimes drives me crazy, but I thank God for HIS gift to me. My parents are professional musicians and singers. They were some of the best in their day! I was singing in the studio at the age of 6. I thank God for the gift of music. My favorites are Black Gospel, Praise/Worship, Music from the 80's, Classical and Jazz!Founder of WEST TENNESSEE MASS CHOIR. 1995 NOW SINGING AS THE VOICES OF WEST TN MASS. A SCALED DOWN VERSION OF THE SAME GROUP. IN OUR 12TH YEAR OF MINISTRY!! CHECK OUT OUR CD AT CDBABY.COM. WEST TENNESSE MASS CHOIR!!

Movies:

Rarely take the time to sit down and watch a movie. partially because I dont take the time, and also because I fall asleep when I watch movies!! I do enjoy suspense, a comedy, and yes, even a tear jerker if im in the mood for it!

Television:

Rarely watch TV. I enjoy keeping up on news.

Books:

Anything in self improvement and biographies of people I admire. The Bible, of course, Psalms being my all time favorite book.

Heroes:

My parents. They have been the best examples of Christians you will get. Thanks for introducing Jesus to me. My grandmother (grandma on the hill). I worshipped her. She was the joy of my life until God called her home in July of 2000. I still dream about her and miss her.
