When I was young I wanted to be a horse.
A little later I wanted to be a cowboy and then Robin Hood was my aim.
At high school I decided I would be Canada's first amazing female playwright/actress.

After delivering the solioquy from Everyman from 30 feet up a scaffold for my university audition into the performance stream of the Fine Arts school, I opted to become Canada's first successful female playwright and leave the acting to those who do not experience vertigo when they are more than a couple of metres off the ground.

I've pent most of my working life in various educational environments terrorizing school administrators by refusing to follow curriculum, attempting to infect young children with a sense of themselves and their rights and responsibilities in the world around them.

Music was always a passion but, until I hit 40, I didn't do anything about it. Now, as a singer, a songwriter, a performer, presenter and promoter (avocations all) I can't imagine where those 25 years went. I've met saints and sinners along the way, done the expected and the perverse, loved well and lost hard...

At the moment I'm longing for retirement, menopause and a recording contract...in that order!
