As far as more recognition goes, I am happy with the amount of love and respect I have received from other artists and the public. Of course, I would love more, and think I deserve it. |
The Pleasure Seekers eventually turned into Cradle, when we started writing our own material. My younger sister Nancy was brought in as singer and I kind of stepped aside as main lead singer and concentrated on my instrument. |
My feet never touched the ground. Lots of good groups with crazy and unique images. It was wild. I spent all of my time doing gigs, TV appearances, interviews, or recording. I could write a book - and probably will. |
The bass player's function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car... everything else is merely colours. |
A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up. |
I have recorded nine tracks for a new album which I financed myself and am looking for a home for. |
I also have a big love of classical music played on piano because this is the environment I grew up in my brother being one of the great masters in this world. |
Joan was one of my biggest fans, as was Chrissie Hynde. |
After moving to England I did some recording and eventually formed an English band, this was together for quite a few years with only a keyboard replacement. The band had no name, just my name. |
I am flattered to have been the woman to have opened the door for female rockers to be accepted into the mainly male industry. |
Rock and roll mainly but I can play passable jazz also. |
Then my own TV chat show in England in 1989. |
I read and write classical piano and percussion, also guitar. |
Len and I had parted musical ways and this was one of the problems. |
I am busy touring all over Europe, Japan, and Australia. |
