I play upright acoustic bass, acoustic guitar. Bob Kordas plays banjo and resophonic guitar (some people call it brand name Dobro). As a duo, we do an hour set, Bob provides live music for some of my puppet shows, too. We do children's music concerts together - check out the songs on my "Dinosaur Stomp" recording for children and families. We have played coffeehouses, weddings and some small events, too.
With the band Late Night Radio, I play upright bass and do most of the lead singing. George Ede plays acoustic guitar and Fred Fowler fiddles. Bob Kordas provides the banjo and reso guitar for our acoustic Americana, bluegrass sound. Late Night Radio has 1 CD available called Midnight Airwaves, and we are working on a second CD, hopefully done by April 2008.
Influences
Carter family, my mom, Kathy Fink, Patsy Cline, Ella Fitzgerald, Gillian Welch and everyone in the universe of music - at least I hope.
I have a few things i like doing - such as writing songs, making puppets. I'm in a band called, "Late Night Radio" (check out www.kordasmusic.com) and write original tunes for the band. I also do music and write songs for kids and families which you can find on www.romperrhythm.com . I make puppets - mostly hand, hand/rod, do birthday parties, events, school performances too. All this in an attempt to make a living being self employed! I still keep my job as a registered nurse (work about one day a week) to get me through the slow times - got kids going through college. So, that is about it - hope you like some of my songs, shows, puppets. Let me know what you think of the website and if you would like to hire me to do a performance or 2.
