Here are some of the albums that blew my mind at various points of my life so much that I had to listen to them over and over, about a googol of times. I don't know how much that is... but it's probably accurate.
And here is a partial list of those who have taken up permanent residence in the right side of my brain:
Jim Croce, Burt Bacharach, The Boomtown Rats, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, The Eurythmics, The Go-Gos, Kim Carnes, The Pretenders, Lisa Loeb, Edwin McCain, Cliff Edwards, Jimmy Dean, Matchbox Twenty, B.J. Thomas, Bread, Bob Dylan, Kill Henry Sugar, Chris Isaak, Pat Benatar, Jane Oliver, Nicolette Larson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rick Springfield, Coldplay, The B-52s, Smokey Robinson, Patsy Cline, James Taylor, The Cars, Connie Francis, and my piano teacher, Mrs. Harutun, who always found something delightfully obscure for me to play in her vast library of classical music.
Chapter One
I was born in a small town in Missouri, a well-behaved but decidedly fidgety child with an uncanny ability to both entertain yet annoy young and old alike. In school, I was typically the teacher's pet as well as their worst nightmare. I don't know exactly why, but I did get in trouble a lot for talking and for instigating horseplay. I dreamed of being an actress, which everyone seemed to think was HILARIOUS. And I loved boys. But they mostly thought I was creepy. Except for the creepy boys, who always liked me the best.
My big sister, June, told me we should only love Tony Curtis, because he was the only man who was worthy. So we had weekly club meetings to glorify him and talk about his movies. But one day Tony Curtis was arrested for marijuana possession, prompting my Mom to utter these terrible words which would remain etched in our minds forever more:
"Well, well, it seems your idol has feet of clay!"
We were crushed. Especially since we had no idea what that meant.
We grew up with lots of music in the house. June and I studied piano and my Mom always had something playing on the stereo. Among her favorites were Robert Goulet, Eddie Arnold, Herb Alpert, Mantovani, Ed Ames, and Burt Bacharach. She also liked to drag us (kicking and screaming) to the symphony in Kansas City every so often, before Skitch Henderson got thrown in jail. We rose above the temptation to tell her about his clay feet. And summers we often flew to Las Vegas to soak in a few of the crooners du jour.
Have a lovely Christmas, Theresa - and may 2010 be just wonderful for you! You're definitely still one of the very best! (And jolly attractive too, if I may say so...) James x now on facebook too!

A Happily Ever After of Her Own
Melinda Lightfoot, a preschool teacher with an unusual ability to flit in and out of fairy tales, never thought she would get into trouble...
...until the Fairy Tale Police arrest her while she is in Beauty and the Beast. They offer her a deal: Find Beauty, who left the story when Melinda trespassed into it, or be charged with the ultimate crime -- Fairy Tale Killer. If that's not bad enough the Beast tags along in search of his true love, and Melinda starts falling for the fairy tale prince. She must choose between doing the right thing and having her own happily ever after.
Thank you for adding my new author page. I will have a few songs from the soundtrack on the player soon, but will link my music page for more songs. My fiction novel with a CD soundtrack is due out in a few weeks. It will be at CD Baby, Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc. Keep in touch.
