Well, well, well...I actually tried to find this thread a couple of days ago and couldn't for some reason and now I see what a conundrum my simple request has caused. First of all I want apologize profusely to my dear housemate for 1. Spelling his name incorrectly 2. For causing him embarassment(although we have just had quite a hearty chuckle as he has just found about his thriving brood).

Kat, yes indeed you found my myspace site. Thanks for the nice compliment about my singing. I have sung professionally for over 30 years and yes, have sung folk music and indeed have accompanied myself on a guitar while doing so. The suggestion that I find a "jazz site" seemed a bit "snippy". I am a musician, period. I love all styles and have taught:jazz, blues, folk, country and rock. If you don't believe me, give Blue Bear School of Music in San Francisco a call and ask about me...:) All I asked about was a guitar, was this such a controversial subject? Whew...get a life, people!

Thank you to all who kindly welcomed me and I hope to meet some of you soon at one of Dick and Susan's singing circles in March which I plan on attending. I promise if I sing I will not improvise :)
