My mother\, Mary Lou (deceased Dec. 06) was a classical pianist &\; organist\, and she directed the church cho ir in which my father and I sang. My mother got me started on the piano wi th 5 and at 7 I learned the violin and then at 13 I picked up the harmonic a. At this time there was a new genre of blues music coming out\, along wi th the old\, that had influenced me. During my teens and twenties I played only occasionaly. 22 years later (1991) I met several musicians as I was living in San Francisco. They encouraged me to start playing the harmonica again. Shortly thereafter (1992)\, I joined the Elmer Lee Thomas Blues Ba nd as harp player and then was later encouraged to sing. In 1994 I moved t o Berlin and put my own band together. Through the years I'd met several a ccomplished musicians in Berlin and the surrounding areas. In 2002 I forme d a band with Nina T. Davis. Together\, we assembled the Alleycats (see Al leycats) and have two cd's. In 1998 I met Hattie St. John\, who had also m oved to Berlin from New Zealand. Together we have our duo\, called\, Ladie s First. We have done two cd's together. Our program consists of an acoust ic-folk-blues- jazz formulation. I've also been invited to play with Blues Rudy from Wittenberg\, and with the Wild Women. The Wild Women is a band formulated by Micha Maass (on drums) with Nina\, on piano\, Amy Zapf on ba ss\, Tina Tandler\, sax\, and Veronica Vogel on the guitar. Together we ar e one powerful band to be reckoned with. Also\, I need to give thanks to m y higher power and a big thank you to the help of family\, friends and fan s. Without them I would not have survived the lean years.Not only do I wor k with local Berliner musicians\, but I am always encouraging my friends f rom the S.F./ Bay Area to come over and play. Thanks for taking a look at my website and hope to see y'all real soon.'
