| Occupation | Piano Teacher |
| Location | United States |
| Introduction | B.A. and B.Mus. Piano Performance U.S. followed by Royal Academy of Music, London, studied with BBC Music Head. Dropped it all to marry, procreate, and dig in the dirt. Am currently trying to avoid dropping America as well. |
| Interests | Birds & natural world, REALLY like to discover a mode of thinking broader than logic so that we'd quit erecting these stupid bubbles that always go 'pop' after a few hundred. The Greeks started it, Industrial Revolution, and American capitalism, would be current examples. |
| Favorite movies | Mask of Zorro, (really like that little modulation at the end when they come walking out of the smoke...), Unfavoritest: 'The Piano', (Do they HAVE to portray us all as psychos?) |
| Favorite music | Anything healthy, means nix on Wagner, easy on the Liszt. Bach & Debussy faves, R&B's feel-good sometimes, Billy J & Elton too, Anything played by Martha Argerich or Ashkenazy, esp Beethoven, Local fave= Craig Sheppard, Respect owing but don't bore me with Brendel. |
| Favorite books | Too many to list, I like C.V.Wedgwood's histories, Stendahl's 'Charterhouse', Anna Reid's "Shaman's Coat", "DaVinci Code" was a hoot |
