Yeah, that's my real name. Through the years, I've toyed with changing it to something else - something more elegant, maybe. But one of the great things about being a big girl is growing into all of the aspects of yourself that you spent your youth running from. So that's where I am now. Just growing into my cartoon-like name and my wonderful, unexpected and, at times, wildly "odd" life. I'm trying to stop analyzing everything so much and just let music reconcile --or maybe encompass is a better word -- the paradoxes of my life. I guess my most direct path to songwriting was supposed to begin as a department store elf and include a few sidetrips into the corporate world. Why not? Someone's gotta do it. Thanks Jim Croce, Don Henley, Sheryl Crow, Lyle Lovett, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Bonnie Raitt, Joan Osborne, Glenn Phillips, and Jackson Browne for your music.
