2 grandkids, cooking and grilling, eating organic (not vegetarian), Feng Shui, Aromatherapy, photography AND MUSIC. My hobby (turned into a business) is finding and featuring music for Klub KittyCat :)
Music
Music soothes my soul and it carries me through all my different emotions! Although I do not have a musical bone in my body...I admire those who do and if I could pick one of the most important things to me (other than people), music would be my 1st topic of interest. I LOVE all kinds of music but mainly listen to rock, hard rock, blues, and funk. I have different moods where I want to crank it up when grilling, put on funk for dancing around with my dog :) or I have moods when I am looking for serenity and put on indian flute music or soft jazz. My favorite local bands to hear live are 8balldown, Grey Haven, Course of Ruin, The Quick And The Dead, Buried In Fire, Grady, Pushmonkey, All Day I Drive, Vallejo, Butcherwhite, Del Castillo, Malford Milligan, Dysfunction Junction, Jimmie Vaughan, Arc Angels, Ian Moore, Blue Millenium...and the list goes on and on. Other favorites Carlos Zema & Vougan, Deathriders, HELLYEAH, Supe, Black Tooth, Nothingface, Rivethead, Sagi, Cherries, Mudvayne, Los Lonely Boys, Jakub, SRV of course, Tesla, Gov't Mule, GNR, Metallica, Faith No More, Disturbed, Korn, Alice In Chains, Shinedown, Big Head Todd, Tito & Tarantula, Tantric, Joe Bonamassa, Santana, Pink Floyd, Black Crowes, Tragically Hip, Robert Cray, Velvet Revolver, Pantera, Queensryche, Everlast, Buddy Guy, Ozzy......somebody stop me! :) I am pretty much of a hermit but have been getting out a lot recently to listen to bands for features on Klub KittyCat.

September 8, 2005I returned from a trip to NYC. The pictures below were from the Rescue 1 Firestation where we were fortunate enough to get a private tour. Click onto the pics to enlarge. The framed picture below is of the 11 fallen firefighters from Rescue 1, and fireman Ed who gave us the tour was on duty on 9-11! What heroes they all are!!!
Klub KittyCat showcases music of ALL genres to help promote live music. All I ask in return is…if you like the photo feature and music…PLEASE let the musicians know! That is MY reward because they put their heart and soul into their music! My Klub KittyCat grand opening was on November 27, 2005. Since that time there have been over 32,000 visitors, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for embracing me…and my features! Please continue to drop by often and a special thanks for all of your comments recognizing the featured artists! I KNOW they appreciate the feed-back as I do too! Now…sit back with your favorite beverage and enjoy!!!

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
I enjoy the simple things in life that God created for us to enjoy...family, friends, pets, sunrises/sunsets, beautiful flowers & scenery, MUSIC, great food...and frozen margaritas!!! I like music of ALL kinds but mainly listen to rock, hard rock blues and funk. I TRY to live by the golden rule and I believe in miracles...God and angels...and the power of laughter! Remember this, even a "forced" smile releases endorphins, so I hope everyone can smile and enjoy your time on MySpace!
LIVE...LOVE...AND LAUGH every chance you get!!! Cat :)
Who I'd like to meet: I look forward to meeting and taking photographs of MySpace bands from all over the world.
If I could meet anyone alive today...it would have to be Axl Rose and Johnny Depp!
