I am a vocalist, songwriter, and musician. I have recorded with Blue Merlot (blues/jazz) and B & B on the Rock, a Gospel duo that performed for over two decades. Both projects included my long-time music partner and friend, Joshua “Bubba” Murrell. Bubba stepped from this life into the next in December of 2023. Until I can get more website design done (I’m a one – woman show there), this page will guide you to SOME of my musical escapades beyond what’s posted on this blog. In addition to blues, jazz, Gospel, folk and sacred music, I enjoy writing about whatever I’m interested in. I’m not chasing commercial success, I just love the song.

On this blog page, you’ll also find a simple recording of The Bracelet (as well as the lyrics and more info about the song). It’s a tribute to those still missing in Viet Nam, and to those families who never had closure after their loved one went missing.

Recorded and released music available on Spotify, iTunes, etc.:
