Thanks SO much to DJ BOB CUPPS from 97.7 ALLHITZ FM for spotlighting me and my new song "ANYWAY" on his RADIO FABRIQUE SHOW. Bob's show airs on saturday nights from 10:00 pm - 12:00 am. It's a GREAT SHOW!
Bob's comments were "a very progressive song, so you may think this starts out pretty slow and kinda builds as a progressive song does, especially if you've ever listened to any RUSH or anything like that. But wait till you hear Jim shred at the end. AH MAN! ANYWAY...GOOD SOUNDIN STUFF RIGHT THERE."
Thanks BOB and 97.7 ALLHITZ FM!
Influences
I am so grateful to my guitar teachers of the past, especially Ray Voller, who looked past my gender and trusted that I could "shake it up with the boyz"! And to my friends Bob & Shelley McPharlin from McPharlin Guitar & Violin, who hired me to teach at their store. I am also grateful to my great teachers from college, Mr. David Moser, Writing and Mrs. Rose, Creative Thinking, who made it possible for me to teach at Butler County Community College!
My family, friends and fans are the real hero's in my life! They are my inspiration! Thanks for always being there!
