Confession

It all started when I was a young and inquisitive child; I have always been intrigued with the unusual, mysterious and inexplicable, which explains my life-long quest for the spiritual. 

My dad liked all kinds of music, and my mother, who had a master's degree in music, always played the piano in our house. Music was a joy, and and a way to communicate and express love and bring folks together.

Through years of Catholic school and church there was one component that actually spoke to me, and that was the music. My mother was the church organist and I got to sit in the choir loft, on the bench next to my mother as she played. 

As I grew into a awkward adolescent, music became my best friend and an escape from the odd world around me. I spent all of my allowance on 45s and later cassettes and 8-tracks. Music became a huge part of my life and has remained that way. 

I love all types of music. I listen mostly to ambient, but love dance music, and always loved any black diva I heard, starting in the '80s drag and disco era, but that's a whole other story! I seriously think it's something from my former life. 

But my secret passion is gospel music! It makes me smile and lifts my spirits. They sing about God and that’s OK; its a celebration of faith. Yolanda Adams' music has gotten me through a lot. Thanks Yolanda! I love you!
