Objective: To become as profecient on 7 string as possible & be able to perform for others while expanding the genres
in which a 7 string guitar has been limited to,& at the same time having a sense of humor,fun,and joy in doing so.
Birthdate: August 13,196....(now where would the mystique be if I told my age?) I'm a Leo with a Cancer rising,& a Gemini
Moon. Nuff Said!
Education
Age 11:Took up guitar-Taught myself on a Thrify Drugstore classical model,using on of those "teach Yourself" primers.
Learned to read music,name of strings & all that good stuff.
High School:Lessons at McCabes in Santa Monica. Studied classical intensley with Phil Boroff,fingerpicked with Dave Zeitlin,&
Flatpicked with Barry Solomon. Best times of my teen age youth were spent there.
Then came the years of band projects-metal.Hard rock,progressive rock,Teaching classical n the side.
I have also backed up live plays on guitar-comedies,drama.spoofs,satire type stuff.
Now residing in Gardena,Ca.
My ultimate goal would be to finally have an all woman band that has top notch players, a decent image, (that means no T&A)
that would be respected,not viewed as being another girl pop powder puff group but as a force to be reckoned with,lyrically
as well as musically.
I should add that I'm not opposed to a mixed band!
