I PLAY BASS, GUITAR AND PIANO. ALL MY RECENT SONGS WERE WRITTEN ON BASS.I ALSO WRITE THE LYRICS AND SING THE SONGS. FOR ALMOST THIRTY YEARS ERIK MOORE HAS BEEN MY GUITARIST AND HUSBAND . HE'S ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING MUSICIANS I HAVE EVER KNOWN . NOW WE'RE GOING OUR SEPERATE WAYS. I'D LIKE TO THANK HIM FOR THE HUGE AMOUNT OF HELP HE'S GIVEN ME OVER THE YEARS. THOUGH OUR MUSICAL PARTNERSHIP IS AT AN END, THE ENERGY LIVES ON IN THE SONGS. WHEN LOVE BREAKS DOWN, THE THINGS WE DO ........

If you listen to my songs you will find your own analogies.
I'M GONNA LIGHT A SCENTED CANDLE, PUT MY HAND IN THE FLAME,
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN,
I'M GONNA PILE THOSE SELF HELP BOOKS ON THE TABLE, TO HELP ME REACH THE NOOSE,
BETTER HOPE WHAT I'VE BEEN HOLDING BACK,DON'T BREAK LOOSE,
THE ROAD IS HARD, AND THE ROAD IS LONG,
AND AS I'M MARCHING DOWN IT
I'M NOT CHANTING, I'M NOT CHANTING "OM"
I'M GONNA MEDITATE, GONNA CONTEMPLATE, TILL I CAN'T THINK NO MORE,
GONNA SIT CROSS LEGGED ON MY KITCHEN FLOOR
GONNA RUN MYSELF A LONG HOT BATH, TO DROWN MYSELF IN,
DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHERE I'M GOING, LET ALONE WHERE I'VE BEEN,
THE ROAD IS HARD AND THE ROAD IS LONG,
AND AS I'M MARCHING DOWN IT
I'M NOT CHANTING, I'M NOT CHANTING "OM"
ALL THE BULLSHIT, AND ALL THE LIES,
ALL THOSE WOMEN ,DARLIN', YOU MUST BE TIRED
WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN HERE BESIDE ME
AND CLOSE THOSE BIG BLUE EYES
WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN HERE BESIDE ME
AND TELL ME WHY?
THE ROAD IS HARD AND THE ROAD IS LONG,
AND AS I'M MARCHING DOWN IT
I'M NOT CHANTING, I'M NOT CHANTING "OM"
