Everything It Wants

Note: Latest CD, Even Folk singers get the Blues, also on CDBABY. Quotes for the album: 'I have previewed 'Everything it Wants' several times and each time I discover a new gem' Trevor Hyland, Triple C Radio, Australia 'a real discovery to me...the talent to make people calm, satisfied, and warm inside' Ray Pieters, Belgium Radio 'an Americana gem on pace with the best' Eddie Russell, Country-Eastern Radio, Texas ' 'Everything it wants' came here as one of the most pleasant surprises' Massimo Ferro, Radio Voce Spazio, Italy Bio I was living in Austin, TX from 1980-1993 and during the last few years there I was selling clothes that I made on the drag (Guadalupe St.) across from the University of Texas. I had a communications degree, worked a few 'real jobs' i.e. a flight attendant in L.A., and a writer position in D.C. Then I decided to give it all up and figure out my own thing. One day I was sitting out on the drag and Keith, a fellow vendor offered me a guitar that he said he wanted to get rid of that he wasn't using. I had never tried to play or even considered it, but I figured why not. It would give me something else to do while I was hanging out there at the market. I soon began learning some Joni Mitchell tunes from a song book, then began writing songs of my own. It was a fun time, since I had never planned any of this. Plus, Austin was a great place to be as a new songwriter with all of the various open mikes everywhere. Any day you wrote a new song, there was usually somewhere to go and perform it. I also met a lot of other wonderful songwriters then including Michael Fracasso, Kathi Nordone, Natalie Withers, Kevin Gant, Michele Solberg and many many more. About Everything it Wants Everything it Wants is my 4th independent recording. After recording mostly solo albums I wanted to do something different while still not over-producing. I went back to Austin where I had lived from 1980-1993 to do the recording. After the album came out I received some great encouragement and assistance from radio show hosts that enabled the album to receive airplay throughout Europe and Australia as well as in the U. S. Her recordings include Mindstorms (1995), Coming Back to Life (1998), Another Land (2000), Everything it Wants (2002), and Even Folk Singers get the Blues (2007)
