I survived the 60's and 70's. Made a lot of money in the 80's, developed RA in the 90's, and in the 2000's slowed down and started to examine my life and where I wanted to be. But I doubt you want to hear about that.
Most want to hear stories of my years in the music biz so I've decided to share a little of that. Stay tuned. I need to work on this and tone it down to protect friends and ex's.
For now I submit the generic version of my life after High School.
After High School I lived in the Northwest for 7 years. Graduated Seattle Univ.in '65 with a BS in Business, had 2 children, then moved to LA for a short time and then to New York. I was a stay-at-home mom as my husband pursued his career in the record business and my son was born. Even tho I loved New York, when I realized I would be a working mom I packed up the kids in an off-the-showroom floor VW camper and headed back to California. There I worked at KTIM FM-AM Radio in San Rafael, RCA records in SF, and KSML-FM in Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe. Living in Sonoma for 30 years I was an accountant for small corps. in Marin and Sonoma Cos. which were ethically managed and produced healthy products such as organic vegetarian food, health food supplements and clothing. In 2009 I retired to Sutter Creek. I am presently researching and writing a book on my Dad's life and family lineage. This is to compliment my mom's book of memoirs she self-published in 2006. I have 3 amazing children, 2 awesome sons-in-law, one beautiful and brilliant daughter-in-law and 5 smart, beautiful and talented grandchildren. Ryan just announced he wants to be a STAR and needs a guitar and microphone. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I hope he graduates Virginia Tech first. He's seven. The others are 14, 11, 7 and 2 years old. I am truly blessed. I can't wait to see my classmates in 2011.
