Herself! But if you combine the lyrical approaches of Paul Kelly and John Williamson and mix it with the voices of Judith Durham and Mary Black then you're getting close.

One of country music's best kept secrets, the Loxton farmer has a passion for the land, for indigenous rights, women's increasing role on farms and in the bush.... she delivered a mature, forthright, intriguing and intimate selection that showed she will be an artist to watch for the future."

From childhood we all have music within us. Dream of music to fill our lives’ Dream of music to fill our soul Dream of Music of all varieties.
When we grow we all feel they rhythms of music within our life Sadly most of forget how music filled our lives as we all tend to grow up and out of music. The Dreamers keep all aspects of the music. To others they follow the general flow and go to show the substance is a cash flow.
The Dream of music has been hidden. Because of our families, we are all driven to go with societies flow.
No matter how it goes. The dreams of music is never forgotten Put in a cupboard of mind And pressured to conform.
The Real dreamers are never forgotten. Their lives are filled with passion, Imagination and regeneration of music.
The note are formed The keys are heard The words are written and all is put together.
In heart this music flow. To reach your ears, your body, your soul. The music has vibrations that will always grow within you. It matches your vibrations and then it reaches deep within you, you become apart of music and music becomes a part of you.
Because The Music, just like you grows. Man knows that music comes from deep within. For Music dreamers have been passes on from the beginning of time, right up till this very day.
Music Of dreams will always become a part of everyone’s’ heart. This is where every woman, child and man knows’, that this is part of everyone’s dream. This is where Music and Dreams become one. Each person feels the music, their own way. Each person feels the belonging of music. Each being feels. This is where music really grows.
To Accept ones limits is to lose ones dreams To expand ones limits is to live ones dreams To shorten your own limits to please others is to cut ones life.
