Autobiography 
Life After Almost Dying…(19)
I wanted a nice “eye-catching” title for my post today. After battling with myself for all of two minutes, I decided not to use the Life after Death title I wanted. Because, although I was technically “dead” while they operation on me for hours, I wasn’t really dead. At least, I don’t think so. I mean, I… Read More ›
Healthy Heart Tip: Change Your Eating Habits

The Last Demo Tape
*Looking over my previous post I was reminded of the last time I submitted a demo tape and the consequences.* I used to read The Stage newspaper religiously for the job advertisements and auditions that were going.
