Influences
My parents singing in the kitchen- I'd wake to hear their songs- I'd fall asleep to them. Also, things heard when I was tiny--"Kate Wolf"- more folks should know her songs-they really speak for California. Old tapes of "Patsy Kline." Lindsey and I would sing along to "The Shangrilas." I thought my parents were listening to "Graceland" before any of my other friends, but I think Mariee's family must have beat us too it.

I am currently a wanderer, here and there and then back home to Nevada City, or wait I've moved back North to Portland once more!- all these collections I've made- feathers! river rocks! antique lace! have been placed on a new window sill (yet again)... The pines have my heart & I keep running back.
