I am a professional singer and have been for many years. Music, and the people that it has brought into my life has been a great source of joy and love and travel. I have toured many places in the world. I have taught Jazz History, Jazz Vocals, and Music business classes at 3 different colleges. I’ve also done many other jobs to make the rent. I have been very involved in constantly learning stained glass techniques. I am also looking for new inspiring ideas to include in my staid glass and mosaic work. I have sung for Pope John Paul II, King Bhumibol of Thailand (and members of his family) and have traveled extensively through the USA, Mexico, the Caribbean, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, El Salvador, Canada and through out Europe and Japan.
