As a child I always heard music in my head, at Church and in the local neighborhood where we lived. It was something beautiful with colors and shapes to match the sounds I heard. I wanted to know how it was done so I began to listen more carefully and then I discovered a secret place; right there, next door and it took me to places I wanted to go and to this day, it is still there in my mind and in my heart; the Music!
So you wonder, how did I get there? from that old country house with the church next door; to Nashville, Tennessee; let me tell you it was a hard road to hoe, roadblocks at every turn. But let's go back to the beginning.
I was born in rural North Carolina on a crisp fall day, the ninth of eleven children to a farmer who loved music and dance and a mother who loved God, church and family.
