Album Notes

I'm mostly Irish, a wee bit Scottish, and some amount of Native American. However, I'm so mellow that I don't really have a temper, don't often drink, and don't so much sunburn as spontaneously combust. *shrug* So much for genetics.

I began playing piano at the age of three, and now no instrument is safe! My voice is my major instrument, but I also enjoy playing piano, harp, African drums, hand percussion instruments, flute, and I know ten chords on guitar (okay, 6). If I could play Bagpipes, i would, because I'm just a little sadistic. I would not play accordion, though I could, because I am not a masochist.

I've been in the Performing Arts (dance, theatre, chorales and choirs, bands and ensembles, solo musical performances) since I was 4. I still get stage-fright. The most amusing (in retrospect) concert I gave was one year at Rites of Spring during the Feast. I was sitting on the stage floor playing my small harp, and since the floor was dusty, I had spread my cape out to sit upon. Slowly, I realized that a large wrinkle in the cape was situated directly on a major nerve in my rear, and my entire left leg from hip to toe was utterly numb! At concert's end, I slid gingerly off the edge of the stage and stood there like an idiot for a few minutes, surreptitiously but desperately attempting to wriggle some LIFE into my leg so I could walk to my table.

I have a thing for Penguins. (NOnono, not THAT sort of thing... honestly, to think I voluntarily associate with you people...)

And if you hadn't noticed by now, I am something of a comedian. I consider myself to be a Muppet. Not LIKE a Muppet, but A Muppet. If I'm not laughing or making someone else laugh, fortheloveofthegods, check me for a pulse!!
