“I always loved to listen to music and sing. However, it wasn’t until I took off hitch-hiking in 1971, that I
actually started writing songs. At that time, with all my thoughts and emotions in a whirl, I found a way to
express myself, to let things out, and to laugh at the situation. At the same time I created lyrics and
melodies that people could relate to. Using my guitar (I could carry it with me wherever I went), I
experimented with a variety of styles, chord progressions, rhythms, key changes. My earliest writing
influences were Carole King ("It’s Too Late" was constantly getting radio play), Carly Simon, and Joni
Mitchell. Most of my songs then reflected my loneliness, search for love, need for friendship. Though it
occurred to me to record some of my songs, I let my emotions lead me wherever I went and pursued love
& happiness over stardom. In 1976 I was writing & performing regularly and did copyright a number of
songs and recorded a demo. I didn't actively market them. A few years later, my energy was focused on
caring for and raising my daughter. Still, when I was particularly moved, upset, “in-love” (or thought so),
or some unusual or catchy brainstorm entered my mind, I did put the pen or pencil to paper. My
production was minimal in the 1980s & 1990s. My father, a strong influence & supporter of my music and
life, passed away in 1992. Then it was difficult to listen to music, hum along, or perform. However, I
started to pull myself back together at the end of the 1990s. As 2001 began, my brain came alive with lyric
production! My thoughts on just about everything I saw, heard, felt became viable lyrics, and sometimes
the music caught up.
My songs today are still about love. Now they are more reflective of better, calmer, and sometimes more
spiritual choices. I am still re-working music on some of my early & later lyrics and continue to write new
material. To that end, I sought peer support and joined the Central Carolina Songwriters' Association.
Recently, I revived my hopes to publish, record, and sell recording rights to my material. I became
motivated to act and have finally (at age 55) invested in studio time to prepare my first CD. Don't let my
age be a deterrent to enjoying the experience of my music. I am still a vocal chameleon, with new - yet
old/wise ideas, both contemporary and nostalgic issues to express, and a variety of music styles to explore.
My CD "Renewed" was released October 2007. The material contains small common threads of blues &
jazz, but each song & arrangement has it's own unique appeal. Find some gritty blues, mellow jazz, a folky
lullaby, a sultry Latin piece, and a few jagged edges of rock & roll. Top that off with a contemporary
ballad and there is something for everyone! Until my final project is complete, I have a 3 song "preview"
CD for sale.
**Please contact me to purchasing songs, CDs, sheet music, chord charts, commissioned custom music &
poetry, or the rights to use my poetry, lyrics, & music, in your own special projects. I am also available
for a limited amount of studio work as a performer.
