| Introduction | I'm 1/4 Cherokee, 1/4 Mexican and the rest is mostly German. I'm a native Arizonan but I was born in Indiana because I wanted to be close to my Mother. My politics, religious beliefs and tastes in music are muddled thanks to my parents. Mom was a NYC girl raised by the Catholic Charities (And left the church at 21). Her mother was brought to the US by FDR. Mom played classic music for me as a baby and all the great swing bands and male crooners as I grew older. My dad was a farm boy, a staunch Republican who played country western music on his Dobro guitar and hymns on the piano. Both of my parents were musical so I didn't realize I had an unusual voice until high school. I couldn't figure out how singers made a living when everyone could sing! I almost pursued music as a career but while I believe I had the talent & I certanly had the luck, I didn't have the discipline and drive. For now I'm content teaching college chemistry, being happily married to my husband of nearly 15 yrs Bill an architect with the National Park Service, and being a mom to my 20 yr old step-son Clark. |
