10 Random Things
- I have two sons and two matching grandsons.

- I learned to play poker from an Alabama police detective riding in the back of a bus while traveling through Europe.
- My first serious boyfriend’s nickname was Possum.
- I’ve been involved with Florida folk music for almost 20 years as a professional audience member.
- I once traveled 597 miles to go to a little music festival (held in a guy’s backyard) to see my favorite band.
- I am a “Fredhead” – (Eaglesmith, that is).
- There is no where on earth I’d rather spend time than at a particular little river in north central Florida watching for the otters to swim past and waiting for the hawk or eagle to make his appearance for the day.
- I have a rock that’s always with me whose name is Portal Wagner.
- My motto at this stage in my life is, “Let the mystery be.”
