Led Zeppelin was my first love,.. then "Heart" grabbed me since Ann Wilson was like a female Robert Plant. I wanted to be just like HER!..well, today I am not Ann Wilson, but thanks to her influence, I love to sing my ass off!
Today I am influenced by too many to list, but I will say off the top of my head that I really dig-- Shawn Colvin, Jonatha Brooke/ The Story, John Mayer, Seal, long time fan of; XTC, Yes, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Jimmy Webb, Aerosmith, Eva Cassidy, Alison Krause, Toto,( Steve Lukather ) Dave Fields, Richard Bona,

PERSONAL STUFF
Hello friends!. If you don't already know me, I'd like to share some of my personal thoughts, dreams, visions and interests with you, First off I must tell you all how crazy I am about my doggies ( Lucy-the husky and Guinness-the pug).
My precious cay Sonny passed away fall of 09 He was the Mayor of the town since he liked to visit all the neighbors. I used to call him the "CANDIDATE"-- I MISS HIM SO MUCH.
I also adore my "human" friends and have been blessed with the greatest pals a person could ever have. I am so grateful for the things I have manifested in my life. I live my life as a spiritual journey, finding new ways to broaden my awareness and stay open to many different points of view in every aspect, music, love, religion.....etc.
I ALSO LOVE to laugh & be completely silly!... I love British Comedies. I am a Cabernet drinker, and lose myself in every sip of the grape. I want to do more traveling, see the world, meet new people.
Being the Director of Chick Singer Night brings me so much joy, sharing music with others and supporting other talented artists, the house band is awesome and they rock my world every time I hear them play. My goal this year is to begin production on my new CD which will be a tribute to my Father Jimmy Miller. I will be recording half the Cd with songs HE wrote and the other half with song "I" wrote. This has been a work in progress and is ready to come into fruition. Love meeting new people who have the ability to love themselves and love others.
Extra love for those who love animals!. SAVE ONE TODAY:
.. Shelter Life
Deena, Thanks for the add! And welcome to my solo page. Compared to you I'm such a terrible hack! But, it allows me to get many feelings out and so, in a way, pacifies my soul.
When I hear your voice and music, it touches me deeply inside. I still remember that one Chick Singer Night that my friend Jessica Paris played, and just being mesmerized by your performance (and your band of amazing musicians). You write beautiful music, you have a beautiful voice and you are a beautiful woman!
HELLO, ONLY I HAPPEN TO WISH YOU TO HAVE AN EXELENTE WEEKEND, THAT ENJOYMENTS OF YOUR DEAR BEINGS, AND THAT YOU DO NOT LEAVE HAPPENS(PASSES) A MOMENT ENTERTAINED BY A SIMPLE ANNOYANCE, OR ANYTHING THAT YOU CANNOT STAND THAT IT(HE,SHE) WILL HAPPEN(PASS), BETTER LIVES THROUGH THE MOMENT AND ENJOYS THIS COURAGE, IN ORDER THAT YOU LAUGH AT THE SENSITIVE THING THAT WE ARE LIKE HUMAN BEINGS, FOR THE PRESENT TIME IT(HE,SHE) IS QUITE, SUCCESS IN EVERYTHING AND WE ARE IN CONTACT, ONE I SCORCH AND A KISS
Deena, what a great show last week with Chick Singer Night. So many talented chicks and Frank great stuff! I was thrilled to be a part of it all. I look forward to seeing you and who you come up with each month. You are an inspiration! Thanks for including me!
