Growing up in the 70's, I learned to hold onto what I had, or life would take it from me. Parental protection was unreliable, and support from my siblings became, survival of the fittest. As the youngest of five children, I found it easy being a storyteller, but difficult to find someone who'll listen. I turned to music, where I found stories not unlike my own and within those songs of sorrow, love and loss, I found the hidden power to capture my own life.
