Happy Holidays! I've been a bit of a home body this year. I hope you are enjoying the season and I look forward to seeing you in 2023!!
"Start each day with a song"
I am grateful for music. Music has seen me through many difficult times. Covid came along surprising us all. I hope you are staying safe and healthy. I miss performing for you and cannot wait till our adventure's begin again ...in a club with people and "live music".

Singing live on the radio
...often caught with my mouth open ...LOL
I never think about what I look like once I start singing. I go to a place in the cosmos where my soul runs free. It's such a wonderful place to be.

Judy Garland was likely the first voice that resonated with me. I was obsessed with the Wizard of Oz and had a reel to reel recording playing every night. A true master of the craft
