I have played flute since age 9, played in orchestra all through school. After high school, I began playing in a duo in Austin, Texas; I took up fiddle at that point. We moved to the Bay Area, California, and played all up and down the Bay. At that time, I began playing keyboards, also. We moved to Hawaii and played a lot of military clubs and clubs in Waikiki and Honolulu. Later played in an almost-all-girl band called Venus. We played variety, pop, rock, jazz, country. I was the front person; I sang, as well.
