Text: I am so happy to have the pleasure of working with Frank Maione. I was so excited when he said he would record my music. And my music turned into our music.
Now about me.
I have been working with Frank musically for 2 years now and the creativity has been has been unbelievable for me. Now that we are finished with "As Beautiful Collection" by Copper Ridge Studio. We are both relieved and look forward to lots of radio promotion, word of mouth and building a large fan base. Thank you all very much for listening. We truly appreciate it. Now onto a little bit about myself. I have been singing since I can remember. My mom sang professionally for a while, and I vaguely remember her singing in the studio in Danbury, Ct. So I was hooked when I heard her. And I knew from then I wanted to sing and write music. I was born in Danbury, Ct., when I was about 5 we moved to Southern Illinois. We first moved to Energy, Il. and we attended a small but wonderful Methodist Church were I sang in the Choir I loved it. Then to Herrin, then Carterville, then our last stop was Crainville, Il. Where I attended Carterville Community High School. Then we moved to Ebensburg, Pa., where I attended Central Cambria High School. I have been writing lyrics, poems and music since I was about 15 or 16. Then we moved to Millville, N.J. when I was 21 and I met a great musician by the name of Walt Sapsai. This CD is the 2nd one for myself and my husband Joe. I moved to New Jersey in 1988. I met Walt in 1989, and we jammed while he was in working bands and have remained best of friends ever since. I met my husband Joe in 1995 and found out he was a musician too. Well I fell in love. WE married and formed a songwriting collaboration called Taliesin Moonwolf Project Band. It was a collaboration of Joe-Myself-Walt Sapsai-Billy Mormann. Clint Rhubart and I recorded one of his original songs "Who I Am" and Walt Sapsai came in and added Drums-Bass-Keys to make a really pretty song. Then after my split from Taliesin Moonwolf and a seperation. I wanted to do my own music my way. And that is where Frank came in. Thank You Frank. mmmmmmwwwwwwhhhaaaaa!!
