"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.
