I had a blast and want to thank my fans and friends that showed up, and the autographs and photos request was such a good time. Special thanks to Scott, Kent, Brad, Sharon, Robin, Val, Jerry and many other friends.
Thank you my friend Sharon for helping me keep my gear and my brain straight during all the confusion.
I was uncertain what to expect for my first show and this went way better than we expected. My band did terrific and worked very hard. Not bad for a first show-Thanks guys!
I have a lot of good friends and people in my life, that I did not know about! This truly was a celebration of "life" for me, and so many that helped me thru the dark times were there for me last night. I may not have a boyfriend or husband in my life, but I really do have friends. I have fans and friends off of the internet like I did not know. I may not have family, and what family I do have is very far away, so for everyone showing up, it really helped me feel wonderful. It felt like family to me.
We are off to a great start. I will not be gigging again right away, we have a plan and strategy and I personally want to take time off for songwriting and do a little recording for some new material that I have written and work on my guitar skills and "stuff', and be alone for a bit. I want to do all this in a leisurely manner. And I have my dogs and cats and busy with life and trying to live, so not sure when I will play out again. It is very rare occurrence when I do play a show.

To be back out on the stage in after 4 years, with my own songs and own band was a complete success last night, and overwhelming. I swear, I lived for last night and that moment ever since I was a little. I always en visioned myself on stage with the Giant Stacks taller than myself, and there I was, with my own band my great manager and my singing and playing my heart out!!.. and then the fans afterwords.. Again, you guys do not know, how last night, was a dream of a lifetime for me..playing in a great city, and doing it against all odds.
I couldn't even sleep last night when I came home, it just went better than I had planned and my manager is extremely optimistic about our future.
I did not expect for my hair to be totally in my face and to be sweating like I did last night, and some of the gear malfunctions I had, but it all went well despite! I had some incredibly difficult times last night as I was playing. I was so hot and sweating and when the energy took over, and I would finish a song, I found I could not breath a couple of times.

On another note, Mom is having back surgery also.. I am worried about her. She has tried everything, and this is now the best option.
I pray it works and that we will see each other again. As mom has told me, when I am doing well, she automatically feels less pain physically also. Her back is really so bad. My poor mom..I really miss my family- I hope to see them again someday, but time is marching in on it seems. I was glad I could call her with some good news for once. I have had so many rough times the last year.
My cats and dogs are doing great.
Again, thank you a million, to my fans/friends that came out last night and to the Club Owner Mike Jafari, and to Mikey and the Beautiful Avalon Night club and to Tony Lopez.. You guys gave me a great "welcome back" to my career. I am so grateful and thank you for giving me the chance. All pain and problems are very well in the past. This is a whole new life for me.

I will try to never again be "gone" so long from playing music again on the stage, but there is always a road block to my being able to play out it seems.
Again thank you to my fans. You guys are the very very best-
Always feel free to email me. I will always respond.
I am sorry to be rambling on here today, but I am just giddy and so happy!
Please stay tuned on my site here and my Myspace music site, for what I am up to and what I am doing.
Amy Schugar
MultiPoint Media Did some of the video and photos for the show. Thank you Jerry! Hopefully we will have more pictures up sometime of the show.

Hello Everyone,
Just a brief update before I head out to start my day with errands and stuff-
Tomorrow is the show at the Avalon. After that, we will be focusing on new recordings of the new material I have written.
Again, after this show, my focus is my new music and getting it recorded.
I hope to see some of you at the show tomorrow night and remember I go on at 830 sharp.
Although I am doing pretty good, I am still sad and having some bothers with personal issues such as my mom now having back surgery. I am very worried for her.
I miss my family a lot.

Life is good and getting ready to play! I am looking forward to a nice evening of getting out!
The dogs and cats are doing so well and the baby hawk that I have watched growing up is huge now and getting ready to leave the nest.
Life is well and positive these days! Been so busy and hope to get out more at some point and enjoy time with friends here. Myspace Music Page has been fun and really busy. Met lots of people here in the Bay Area and have a great support system with many of them for my music!
I miss Arizona sometime and mostly miss Mom and Dad and have not been able to see them, hopefully soon. Management is great.

Yesterday was so much fun! I enjoyed meeting everyone at the little Birthday Bash and the food was Terrific!! Yum! I cant wait for todays leftovers!
The weather was perfect-

I also wanted to say, Thank you very much to everyone who is emailing me from the mailing list that was sent out! Thank you for signing up on the list. My crews point is to never mass mail or spam and as you all know, I love keeping in touch personally with my fans and friends. It was a good thing to let you all know I am up and out playing again and let you guys know what is happening. The mailing list is a great way to do that!
However, always feel free to email me personally. My team wanted to do the mailing list, because I had so many address's, simply no way to do it by hand-
Always drop me a mail, or check back here for more info-
Thank you so much for the support and in joining the mailing list that was sent out.
Look forward to see you all at the Avalon!

Links page is not working correctly, so here is a link to my friend Gunter-http://www.gunternezhoda.com/links.htm
He is a great player and really nice guy.
Not much going on tonight on a Saturday, just taking it easy and getting ready to make some dinner for myself, and maybe my pets also. Feeling kind of sad tonight, don't know why, I think I am just tired or something. I still don't go out or date at all.
I have also been delighting in watching a hawks nest outside. It is an amazing thing that I have been able to witness the parents feeding the baby and raising it. Right now the baby is pure white and fuzzy and no feathers at all. Real wobbly when he/she tries to stand and it looks like a little 'Swanson' like right now. Maybe a couple of weeks old. So very very cute! The parents are great parents-
I marvel so much in nature and can't wait until I can take some time to go hiking or camping someday. Time is so hard to find right now- and I miss my parents very much.

I just woke up..
I cannot believe how happy I am to be living here in the Bay Area! It was the smartest move I have ever made! I am so happy to have my band, and new friends and management, and to be starting to play around at the clubs here! Phoenix did not have much there, but is a great retirement place. Northern California is outright beautiful! I am very happy here. I guess in life everything is meant to be! I was meant to live here and be here! Sad about the other part.. but I did not know. I am around sane and happy healthy people and life took on a dramatic change for me over night once I got around the right people that really wanted best for my welfare! I wake up every day, counting my blessings to be out of harms way, and on a good road! I haven't dated anyone Since August now. Not a nothing. This is a long time to be single but after what I went thru, it was horrible. I couldn't even begin to guess as to when I would ever be ready to be close again with someone. I still can't believe how far I have come to pulling through. Abuse and lies and deception and mental cruelty I went through was a killer on me emotionally. I never will get the apology that is due to me. And this saddens me.
All is good now and I prevailed ! The band sounds good and the animals are healthy!
My manager has a birthday party soon and I look forward to going! It is going to be a great day! My band and I will be there and some other artists-
Off to feed the dogs and head out to begin my day!

Thank you very much to Lady Rock-
Again everyone, anyone who is in the Bay Area come support the first night out in years, with my new Band. May 31st at the Avalon! Dates will be in Pollstar soon and we are actively working now on looking into touring. Will keep you updated when and if dates are secured with Michael Schenker in us playing together for a couple of his USA shows. Michael requested it and my biggest thanks goes to him for trying to make this happen- Thank you. I am over joyed to reconnect and Michael you are so missed!

Last night was great on the Big stage and thank you so much to the night club and Josh's Dad and everyone for helping the band out! We had great lights show and sound! I love that huge stage! By the way, I heard I missed a KILLER dinner! Next week I will get there early enough to have dinner with everyone and set up my gear as promised!

Hi Guys,
All is going well. Funny this morning, when my kitty pumpkin greeted me and woke me up this morning, her fur smelled like a little cinnamon stick! I don't know why or where or how she smells like Cinnamon, but no complaints, everyone is purring and well and happy(:
I have worked years to get things together and to find the right people that I work well with and that had the availability that I needed. I haven't played out since Michael.
We have our first show at the Avalon Night Club here in San Fransisco on May 31st, Thursday- This date was just told today to me- Dates on this and for future shows will be listed on Pollstar in about a week,(and on tour page). It always takes time to update there, about a week- Avalon takes some time to update their records also. Any questions about this can be addressed to Brad@dynamicartists.com or myself-
I cant wait! Come on out and lets party together! I am pretty low key, but this is a special night!
Always feel free to "bug me" or email me with any questions or comments! I am not always able to answer back right away, but will eventually get to all the mail and answer when time permits!
Thanks again for understanding-
I am still working with Kim Dahme from Boston, with our songs.
And may also be starting writing some words and a little something with Adrian Legg. So as you guys (and friends that read this) see, I am very very busy. I will answer mail back, so don't get frustrated(: ! Thank you for the emails.
I heard from Michael Schenker he has asked my band to open for him for a couple of shows here in America on his new tour! This was great news and I will keep you all posted. Hopefully this works out! It is a matter now of management and agents coming to agreements and "stuff" and contracts "thingy things and stuff". Business and things I stay out of-
It would be a great reunion! My band is covering some of the songs off of the Schugar Schenker album along with new songs I have been writing- We hope this will be cemented soon, so check back!

A builder here in the Valley Built me a Custom Guitar Recently and I really love it! It was customized to fit me! Thank you so much CB Perkins! What a great job you have done! What an honor in your generosity! Thank you again, and I play it constantly! The guitar has "good vibes" about it! I hope to have pictures up at some point so keep checking back!

When time permits for both of us, Kimberley Dahme Bostons Bass player and I will begin recording a couple of tunes we wrote together. Kim has been with Boston for six years. Kim is a beautiful girl and has uplifted my spirits a lot.

Congratulations to Peppino D'Agostino for being voted "Best Acoustic Guitarist" by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine in:

"The 2007 Guitar Player Reader's Choice Awards"

(May 2007 issue) More information here and Website:

http://dynamicartists.com/

I think I need to get a hair cut. I look like a wild cave woman. My hair is touching down to my hips.

The News page will be added back. Also hope to get some new pictures up in time and or music clips. The site will again take on some new changes in the future.
Off to practice a little and watch the news and go to sleep. Early Friday night and I am loving the alone time- Kitty is curled up in my lap as I write this and the old brown girl dog on the floor chewing quietly on a bone.. this is heaven to me right now..

I loved being on the stage and performing last night! It was a dress rehearsal. It was great fun! My biggest thank you to the guys for moving my huge amps for me and gear, and for the team of people that gathered last night in support of my band. I have been so tired and exhausted lately so the help to me and treating me like a little princess is so so greatly appreciated. I am really exhausted these days. My biggest thank you to the night club donating their time and club to us, and sound man. I am truly grateful for the wonderful team of players behind me, staff,club and management, and I love playing on stage.
Life is going wonderful and is all that I had been planning and I am so happy to have reached and attained my goals in life with my music. It has been an extremely rough road for me off and on, as many or some know and I guess however,nothing worth having in life will ever come easily. And everyday, if a person works just a little bit, to achieve their goals in life, eventually persistence will and does pay off. ..even if you are 70 years old by the time it happens, it will be worth it in the end. Take 10 minutes a day, each and every day, to dedicate to your goals. 10 minutes is not a lot of time and you are 10 minutes now closer! Also if you surround yourself with positive people, that are sane and healthy people that are not addicts or alcoholics, things seem to move so smoothly! I have been feeling well and enjoy so much the people I am around now these days. No more complications, and communications are honest and clear and there are no more feelings of chaos or "the crazies" !(: I really am happier now with the new people in my life and there are currently no more people in my life that are out to screw me or take advantage of me. Boy I really went thru some bad times..lies, deceptions, trickery, and more.. it was horrible stuff and I have really come thru ok in the end. It all worked out well in the end. I get amazed everyday with my new life and the new people I am around. And how suddenly, things are moving along now with my music and band and future!
I am not where I want to be musically yet, but in time I feel it will come.

It would be nice if someday, I find love again, or even get a moment someday to actually date.But I will have to be careful of who I let in and my band said they want to do a pre screen on any new people I might date someday! (If I date again)
(: There is not any interest for me on that front and I dedicate my time to my music. Dogs and cats are well and they help me feel better when I get melancholy or have a rough day, because I still do sometimes as we all.. So Bless their cute little souls!(:
The "Creator" has been good to me-

I just had my first custom Body Guitar made for me. It was courtesy of some builders here in the area. It has all of the good things like the 24 Fret Maple Neck, complete lo pro edge, 5way switch, just everything I want in a guitar, The Ibanez, but with a smaller body, and it is a mean little machine. It really was a surprise to me and I am very grateful.
We have Thursdays a closed dress rehearsal on a big stage. Thank you very much to the nightclub that donated this stage and sound man to us, and to allow us the opportunity to play, and let us be closed off to the public and to enjoy alone time in a night club by ourselves as a band, and to use the stage for rehearsal. We are currently in a smaller room.
I did hear also from my other friend here in the Bay Area Kim and it really brightened my day, she is a wonderful sweet girl. I think I need more time with girls and friends when and if I can get out more. I just am so busy and have so much music we are working on. And the music and band takes up all of my time. I have completely dedicated my life, money, time everything to it. And my animals get the remainder or other half of what I can give.
Not dating anyone or going out on dates. Have no interest or time for it. Not feeling like I want to date anymore or ever again at this point. It is just too much hurt and pain and I don't trust anyone in that department these days anymore after what I have gone thru.

Hello all-
I have been very busy, and started rehearsals with my new band. I really enjoy these guys and Josh is a wild kid on the drums with the spirit of young pup. My bass player Keren, keeps us steady. I am very happy with this new lineup. Everyone is always on time for rehearsals, there are absolutely no issues, and the band is completely hassle free. And very nice guys to top it off. Couldn't ask for more! Truly a breath of fresh air and I never have to worry with them. Being we are a Power trio at this point, everyone is singing harmonies and backup. We all are within a close living distance to one another, and I love rehearsing. I am so tired these days. I am running myself to the ground trying to stay caught up and in keeping so so busy.
We have tentative booking on a show for May. But I am unsure if I want to announce the date to anyone, or about where it is, except to a few good friends.
I am the only guitar player and singer in this band. So we will see how this goes, with doing a 3piece for now and see what comes of it. I feel so exhausted after rehearsal, both physically and mentally and It can be very challenging to operate like this as a power trio, but we had our reasons at this point in time for doing this and In time I am sure it will get easier, and it is a lot of fun also to do, and I enjoy the challenge. My manager is great and we are blessed to have him guiding us as he does. So yea, all is going well. Except that someone did a hit and run to my car the other night and I am really bummin out. Didn't need the added stress, but I am safe and ok, in which I am grateful. Things can always be worse, and I try to keep my chin up during all of this stress and busy times.

On another note, there is still some email problems with the account sometimes, so please feel free to try and email back again, if you do not hear from me. And always try to put a clear "subject" line in the Subject area, so I know not to toss it out as trash. I/we enjoy getting mails and try to answer all of them when possible.

I am also working with Kimberley Dahme from Boston on some songwriting together and a side project. I realize This is a very very hard time for the members of Boston, and I am so very sorry about the loss of Brad the singer. It is hard to write about this and somewhat awkward, but Kim and I talked about it, and she wanted me to write today about us meeting, as it was very productive and fun. Again, to all due respect for Brad and the family, and in respect to his memory and family members, I am sorry about the loss ..My best wishes to all who surrounded him. He was a good man..
Kims site at this time, will be dedicated to Brad and the situation there, and understandably so. And she will update things on us and what we are doing at a later time. Again, these moments are difficult and awkward for us because it is filled at the same time with extreme sorrow, and happiness. Yesterday, we had our moments of crying together and laughing together. It was something I will never forget. And we wrote together, and great stuff came from it. Just got all the words to a finished song from her today that we wrote together (march 21 07). This particular song is about humanity and the lack of compassion often times found in todays world.
We met March 19th/07 at my studio. We really hit it off well the minute she stepped out of the cab. We spent the better half of a day together and in a small amount of time wrote almost two full songs together. We think alot alike, and vocally our voices work well together. She has been with Boston for 6 years. She is a tall girl! We got a lot of giggles together and I enjoyed her company.

I am and have been very happy now for months. I still have not dated anyone at all. Not even a date. I keep to myself often, and have my dogs and cats and my band, and this side project and I still need to work on more originals. There is never enough hours in the day. I keep a limited amount of friends around for now. I still hurt off and on and keeping so busy, is helping me a lot. I talked to Mom the other day, bless her dear heart, she is hanging in there, and today I talked to my Dad. I love my parents both so much and miss them so very very much. I really hope to see them soon.
My Dogs and Kitties are doing very good and my very best times are in the mornings when I wake up to all of them. They all greet me with kisses and I feel like a kid in the morning getting mauled by all of them at once and talking and loving and laughing all over them, and it is so cute how they all like eachother. Right now as I type this line, BOTH CATS are on my lap at the same time. This is amazing and I did not think this was possible and my little legs are getting numb from their weight- Gosh they are all so cute my "babies" and they get tons of kisses and I am so very blessed to have had them around for 13 years, although the one kitty is 17 years old.

Again, Please make all emails and headers with a clear subject line, due to overwhelming amount of mail coming to this account currently. We want to read your mail and not toss it accidentally in the trash, thinking it could be spam. Thanks for understanding-

Russian and Romanian with Italian.

Hi everyone-
I have invested in a few of them. Each one is always a little different or teaches differently or has something the other book doesn't! It gets frustrating and there is not just one book that has everything in it. For starters on Scales, here is a couple I really enjoy and ones you or a friend can get started on:

http://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Scale-Book-Leigh-Powers/dp/0898986990/sr=8-1/qi

and http://www.music44.com/X/product/16768-D

Done in a "Hannon method" these scales can sound pretty cool! One of my favorite scales for some reason is the weird Whole Tone scale. It is tricky but can be done in a 2 measure break real fast and will sound cool when you get it down and "double" up on it!
Thanks for checking in, and as always, I write here a couple of times a week to update friends, fans, and family!
Love to you all,
Amy Schugar

For emails, please put in the subject line a clear subject indicating it is for management(Brad) or myself. Often I just delete without ever opening them upon first glance. We get lots of mail mixed in with tons of spam and I may have accidentally deleted "real' ones and if that is the case, please feel free to resend it if you have not heard back.
I/we just need to have a way to quickly distinguish between a "real person" and a robot behind the email. It is a time issue-
Thank you for understanding.

Hearing about this Anna thing is so sad to me. She made in a statement that she said she could never trust those around her- I understand how she felt and it is very sad to feel so betrayed by so many and not feel the support of real people or to find out real deception and lies by people you trusted in. It is a horrible feeling to feel set up, and lied to and if you haven't experienced it to the extent that I have in the past, it is just an unreal feeling. I was so depressed for awhile, it was horrible. I am glad I am safe now and out of harms way, physically and emotionally and I have gotten some help and have had to work thru things and now trust issues I have with people. Abuse is abuse, and it can be a real train wreck to the victim-
Things are going good and all is going to be ok. I had a rough year or two in the past for sure, but I am doing much better now, with some help and the proper support system I have been on a great path for awhile. The YWCA network helped me a lot in getting thru the depression associated with abuse and they helped me understand my hurt and why I vented as I did in the past. Everything and the way I reacted was understandable. And all of that is is in the past. Sometimes a person just gets to a breaking point and vents. I vented my frustrations in writing, and thats all. And it is understandable. But it also benefited no one at the time.
I am a real kicker and survivor and it takes a lot to bring me down. Last year was a bad set back but a great learning experience at the same time and will make for some terrific song writing in the future.

I am playing a lot and have bought some new books also to study with music and so forth-
Thank you very much again people for your emails of support and uplifting wishes. I am getting along better these days and my Dogs and Cats keep me happy and get lots of hugs and kisses- I am so grateful for them. They helped me a lot thru the depression.
Amy

I am sure this 2007 has got to be better..
I am grateful for people checking in and for my friend Zackers who tries to cheer me up, or for my friend Laura,,there are many,,
I miss my friend Kim G, Kim,and Char and friends I use to know here..I don't know where they went.. I guess I understand..? But I hope they are well.. I feel so forgotten and so misunderstood by them, but people get busy..it is sad to me, because we had some great times..

I did get a call from my Mother this morning early and we had a terrific talk. I do love her with all of my heart and did tell her so.. I miss her so much.

On a different note and other stuff.. I want to see about taking one of my cats to do volunteer work in cancer wards, or rest homes, or for kids that are suffering terminally. Does anyone know about this kind of volunteer work? I have a very old Siamese that is about 17 and This old girl just loves to be handled even by strangers and she is such a sweet cat, I believe if I can somehow find the time to do this type of volunteer work, that not only myself, but also the cat will enjoy this work/volunteer or "therapy" work. I am hoping I can find time for this. At least try it.

Floyd Rose has designed the new "speedloader" but you to buy a new one and have
it installed.
http://www.floydrose.com/speedloader.html

Changing the strings on an original Floyd Rose can be a challenge but after some
pratice it becomes second nature. I have Floyds on just about all of my guitars.
If you need any tips on the best way to change strings on a
Floyd Rose or care tips...

The first guitar I ever played was a 70's to early 80's model Fender acoustic, which I still have. It is a small guitar and was given to my sister for lessons and she later gave it to me when she realized that the guitar just wasn't for her. It is listed on my gear page-

Hey! Great question!
No, it is not how I got in with John!
I knew John from years and years ago, played
music with him also! I was just very lucky
and I came around at the right time a few
months back when I had contacted him, for we
had lost contact..and I was just
checking in to say hello! I guess the timing was just right, and there
ya go-
AMY SHUGAR

My Godmother..she was really something..
She was something.. I remember her coming to Phoenix when I was just a kid.. she reminded me of Charo - she was almost "not real"..I remember she wanted to take me back to Mexico City..I did not go, I was scared, and I did not speak Spanish.. looking back on it now, I really should have gone.. I remember going to the Coliseum and being on that huge huge stage while she was setting up and getting ready for a concert that night! That was my first time on a big stage or any stage for that matter... I guess it was then, from my God mother Amalia Mendoza, I realized what I wanted to do...here is a link to her..unfortunately, she has passed on not long ago.. sadly..she was stricken with Alzhiemers..amazingly I realize after seeing this search on her, she was as famous as my former writing partner..amazing..http://www.google.com/search?q=Amalia+Mendoza+&hl=en&lr=&start=0&sa=N
http://www.google.com/search?q=Amalia+Mendoza+&hl=en&lr=&start=0&sa=N

M: "I just play, you know, I focus on making an album, totally different than the consumer does. And, it was maybe less overdubs, you know. Not over produced. Maybe that will be part of it. Maybe a kind of went back more to the basics. I don't know. I honestly don't know. I just always do what I do. I really don't do anything really different. I always do what I do. It's just other people that join the band. They change the outcome. It's bit like when you put... Say like if you have a banana as the essence of a fruit salad. When you mix the banana with strawberries and cherries, you get one kind of taste. You take the strawberries and the cherries out, and now you put in mango and passion fruit with the banana. You're still banana! You can still taste it, but it's a little different."

YES!

Well, thank you for the question, and I like to use a little sand paper, and then some slippery lubricant...it just feels good, and it seems to help it stay in tune..(*|*)

Actually, I do some of the work on my guitars but have a tech and set up guy that goes thru them. It is always a good idea to keep them in cases and while playing keep a good cloth handy to keep wiped down and change strings frequently. There is some graphite liquid that can keep the rollers moving well if needed. But for the most part a good tech guy is your most valuable asset, especially for Floyd Rose set ups.

I find a man very sexy, when he does what he
says he is going to do! I find it very intriguing
when he has a true PASSION for something in his life. To me
it shows a certain amount of depth in a person to
be so incredibly passionate and talented and to
be so serious in the devotion of time towards this
passion of theirs.. I feel (we) are on the same level-
HYGIENE is extremely important!! Brushing and flossing
is essential and mouth to me is the very
sexy part of a man!! I will not get near a man that
is not taking care of his precious mouth!
I also think SEXY in a man, is his ability to work,
and enjoy his work, with minimal complaints (although
I complain of mine,,ha!!)
But a man following thru on his word, shows extreme character
to me.. and is comforting and therefore very XXTRA SEXY..
A good listener also-
Not someone that talks at you...there are others,but that is
on my list at the Top!! More than hair or muscles or looks..(and in
some cases, money..)

Any movie that is good!! I love Adam Sandler movies, Brad Pitt is one heck of an actor! Meet the Parents and Anger Management was a couple of my favorites and I think the type of movies I like best.. however the new one out currently with Brad Pitt in a skirt with curly hair was great!! I can not remember the name at the moment..oh yes, something to do with Achillies..he was Achillies...
Also, when I go to a movie, I need lots of popcorn with extra extra butter!!!! So much, no one can ever believe it! Yummm!

My sister had a Fender acoustic. I had a Sigma.
We had them at the same time.
I now own that Fender of my sisters! I got rid of the Sigma-
So, in a sense, I still have the first guitar I ever owned.

The second, my first electric, a Old FENDER MUSTANG, I sold.. I wish I had kept it- it had the competition stripe.
I have had many guitars and Amps I wish I had never gotten rid off.. My 69 Fender (the white one with crazy eyes on it) is one of my babies I have had for 100's of years!!!!!!!!!
It has seen EVERYTHING!! It will NEVER leave me... unless there is a disaster of some type-

I love all food, that I know of, except for liver and lamb!!
I occasionally try these things once every couple of years again to see if my taste changed, but again nothing changes...yuck to these two things!!!
But I love alll alllll kinds of food! And luuvv trying different foods also!!

Yes..there were other issues-
Michael and I agreed very much on the recording end of the music and he was so supportive and we had a blast creating the album! No disagreements there, and many times our minds thought so much alike- He was very easy to work with! I was so motivated and really respected his ideas and opinions and had never written a whole album so fast! How much fun this was for me!!
When we were on the road, the big downfall came when I questioned the sales of albums and how and how many could or would not be sold at the shows- we disagreed on this completely..

Yes- My Godmother is/was EXTREMELY famous. Her name is Amalia Mendoza. A GOOGLE SEARCH on her name will give all the information.

Mom is in a book by Muriel Feiner called: Women and the Bullring.
Her stage name was Carla Lee-

FAVORITE BOOKS: Currently reading WILL DURANT title:" THE STORY OF PHILOSOPHY" It is the study and story of the different philosophers and what they were trying to convey in their messages, and so forth, WITH time periods and is very informative book!
I am also still working on KEN FOLLETTS "HORNET FLIGHT" it is about the wartimes, German invasion, etc..

Well, I started playing when I DIDN'T have a mustache and beard..
OK, not funny , but I thought it was.. Really, Off and on for close to 100 years-

I should be way better than I am! But it was never my goal to be the best..just to play what felt the best, to me..
