3 Weeks out of Colon Cancer surgery. 2 1/2 years ago now? Thank you God. To all who have cancer, know someone with it or have survived it, God bless you. My heartfelt prayers are with you. My hope is that you think positive thoughts.

"it's not the FAME, IT'S THE FLAME". I have been saying this for years. I've traveled the world, me and my guitar, singing the songs I've written. I've always expressed myself better that way.
I don't like "Labels." I write all kinds of songs in all kinds of styles. I'm a Storyteller. I've been writing ever since I was a child.
Here is an excerpt from one of my songs called:
"CHORDS"
When I was a girl I was taught, like many daughters,
Deeper things were meant for men, be content in shallow waters
And like every girl who picks up a guitar,
I didn't fight my battles with swords, I used,
Chords, Chords, Chords that felt like colors
That danced with all the thoughts upon my mind,
Chords, all those feelings I discovered,
I set them free, one string at a time
And thoughts that I never could express,
Overtook my soul as though I was possessed...

"WHEN I FALL FROM THE VINE"
I'm a deep feeling soul I roll with a punch
When I fall from the vine I make wine when I'm crushed
And I'm touched by the Lord when my day meets the dusk
When I fall from the vine I make wine when I'm crushed
In deafening chatter and sweet solitude
I've learned many times that I'm not shatterproof
And I know I'll hit dirt till the day I am dust
When I fall from the vine I make wine when I'm crushed.

My good friend Terry Marks took a photo of a billboard where the Legendary
DON COSTA gave a showcase for me JACKIE WINSLOW, the name I went by before I married Randy Carlisle
the drummer from the group The Yellow Paiges, who has since passed away. It is a precious gift for me and I want to thank Terry Marks very much for taking the photo and for coming to the showcase 😊 There’s something to be said for old friends.
