Influences
Many! I don't sound like all the artists who influence me, but my favorite artists and songwriters include Simon & Garfunkel, Sandi Patty, Amy Grant, and Queen. The lyrics have to resonate somehow, and the singer has to strike a certain chord inside my soul.
This book has had a huge influence on my life. I encourage each of you to get your own FREE copy and try it out for yourself: The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
One of my earliest memories is of singing into my folks' reel-to-reel tape recorder when I was three. I began playing piano at age four, and have loved performing music ever since. I wrote my first melody walking home from junior high on a clear sunny day. I continued to compose throughout my life, but only began sharing my music in 2007.
I am also a novelist and freelance editor, and a very happily married mother of six young children. Steve & I celebrate our 20th anniversary this December.

Hey friend! I wanted to let you know that I just posted the title song for my debut album "Like I'm Beautiful!" It comes out 3/09 and will be available at my online store with New Line records, on iTunes, and other selected stores. Hope you enjoy!
Hi Linda, hope your move to CA goes well. I would love to live in the Bay Area, where much of my family is. I'm with you, I like lots of chords! Keep up the great music! Bill
Thank you for your kind words - and there's no need to be so modest about your own music! :-)
Seriously, these days just about anyone can make music; but it still takes talent to make GOOD music, and the cream still rises to the top thanks to the likes of CD Baby and JPF.
Speaking of which, I'm not active in their forums, but I've been known to browse them.
Incidentally, I can't remember whether I've mentioned this before to you, but if you're a Beatles fan, you may be interested in our cover version of For No One, which can be downloaded for free here:
Thanks Linda for adding me. I really like 'Lie To Me'. I will have to check out the samplings offered of your novel writing when I can. (thanx also for listening to my strange stuff!) Bill/Cirrus Bay
I like the laid-back feel of your page. Your music is very accomplished and well-recorded. There are some very neat production tricks that help to add interest here and there. It seems like your vocals could stand to be mixed a little higher in places - I hope you're not nervous of whether they're up to the job or not. They most definitely are! You've got a fantastic voice. :-)
Anyway, thank you for all the kind words you've already said about our music. If you get the chance to leave a comment on our page, your opinions are always welcome.
Hi Linda, I have to work on Monday, so please don't worry about dropping anything off. I am doing fine, and we can count this as a visit. :) Well that is really exciting news for you and your family. I hope that you all love it there in Califoria. I am looking for a job opening in Utah, so hopefully I will be on my way as well. Take care! Tami
Hi Linda, I am leaving for SLC tomorrow for the week. I will give you or Lenna a call next week though to arrange visiting teaching. Thanks for the message, and congrats to your daughter on getting into BYUH, that's really exciting! :)
