Played trumpet all through school, never thought about singing.
Really came as a shock! Started taking lessons, decided I can sing and discovered so much emotion in singing, never felt that playing trumpet. Oh, and btw, one of my best friends in band, in high school, told me I was tone deaf! This did come from a drummer, lol.
Used to run Marathons, ran NYC 3 times.
Divorced, have a grown son, who’s married. Grew up in OK, moved to TX in 1982.
Love baseball, Sooner Football, reading, movies, Korean Dramas.
Hidden talent, I’m a world class knibbler!
My mom and grandma sang, choir etc. One of biggest regrets is that I discovered my passion for singing after she had passed, she never got to hear me sing.
