My singing has been influenced by every musician I've been lucky to work with. Also these things: that chemical that's released in my brain when I sing; daydreaming; bass lines; working as a dancer & choreographer; Mr. Brockman (high school choir director); Muriel Brown Older (voice teacher); pianist Jason Wanner; bassist Kevin Hill; the amazing Nate Ketner; and the voices and songs of Ella Fitzgerald, Mildred Bailey, EmmyLou Harris, Sarah Vaughn, Megan Slankard, Lucinda Williams, Joan Osborne, Rebecca Kilgore, Mary Black, Chrissie Hynde, Anita O'Day, Nancy Wilson, Nat King Cole, Natalie Merchant, Dinah Washington, Bonnie Raitt, and Julie Andrews.

I was born, and one day soon after I discovered the sound of voices. I’m a singer, from the moment I awake, everywhere I go, til I fall asleep.

Hey Karen. Thank you so much for showing James and I a good time. We will have to do it again. I would still love to get my hands on one of your cds so what festival will I see you at next. Hope to see you sometime soon. I feel so bad living so close to some of my musician/ jazz singer friends and not being able to just have a great time with them. It is always so much fun seeing how musicians/ jazz singers are with their everyday life. Take care!
Hey Karen! Not too much... just kind of laying low gearing up for Jubilee! But I am going to a fundraiser tonight at a high school for a bunch of kids who want to come to camp this summer... They have a little dixieland band that is performing and trying to raise money to go. What have YOU been up to?
Guess what... I got a 97 % on my music final... I knew I passed it with flying colors and with what Sherri taught me it helped me to teach others just before the final! :)
