my life in rock and roll

BELLE OF THE BALL, circa 1989

Can you guess which one is me? Hint: I'm not the Japanese girl.

**Wanna hear the "hit single" that never got released? **

(I'm playing the keyboards and singing backup harmonies!)

	Here's the band playing Limelight in New York City. I'm behind the keyboards.
	Here's me at another gig.
	Here I am at a solo piano gig, complete with Beethoven-esque hair. Hell, it was the '80s.

LOTUS DOG, circa 2002 Look back to the top photo; the first woman on the right is my good friend, Jolie. Here's a link to her last studio project, Lotus Dog. Jolie honored me by asking me to sing backup on one of the tracks, "Stand or Fall." Click here to listen to the mp3!

SLO KARAOKE, circa 2009 My responsibilities as Chair of Las Positas College's SLO Steering Committee led me back to the recording studio in 2009. What's an SLO? This song explains it all. Tanya Pray and I sing new lyrics to a karaoke version of "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," originally recorded by Panic! at the Disco.
