I was born in Delaware and raised in Colorado.

Music
Music has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. We had sing-a-longs and hootenannies when I was young and almost everyone in my family played an instrument. Nowadays it's my all time favorite political activity - spreading peace through music.

If you’re not playing music what might you be doing?
reading, knitting, laughing with friends, hiking, wondering why my cat is yelling..... 

Favorite things:
playing music (of course!), my cat, listening to great live music, my band, hanging out with friends, the tv show - BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, reading, traveling on a low budget, really good indie movies, sunsets in the Canyonlands, a mocha from Kaladi brothers coffee combined with a HOT croissant from Le Trompeau Bakery.....and finally after 17 years being a non-smoker!
