专辑简介

For as long as I can remember I had a strong desire to make music. I began as a young child, humming along with my father when he sang as he held me in his arms. From there I sang in trees when I was 6, wrote my first songs on piano when I was 8, sang in a choir and learned flamenco guitar in my teens, did folk singing in my early 20’s, wrote more songs and dreamed of becoming a performing songwriter in my early 30’s, performed and recorded with my husband in my 30’s and 40’s, attended many courses and conferences on songwriting in Nashville, lost my singing voice in my 50’s, changed to writing instrumentals on the nylon string guitar, and finally recorded this CD.

Throughout all these efforts I was dealing with the reality of having only one good ear and the facial/ throat trauma that happened during my botched ear operation when I was 9. I took many vocal lessons, guitar lessons, and received many forms of healing. My disability, though it was a major roadblock to doing music, was a gift. It guided my career as a massage therapist and body oriented psychotherapist, and made each musical success a treasure. This struggle with adversity made me more sensitive as a person and a writer.
