From ripping around on horses and Chasing cattle -being a young Mum-mustering- to Recording studios- writing songs- who ever thought anyone would want to hear my songs? not me. But here I am over thirty years down the track and I'm still writing songs-your'e all still listening? incredible. I can honestly say the best thing about music and songwriting in particular- is sharing it all with others who enjoy it all. I love you all for that.

MY FIRST (HORSE ALBUM) NUMBER TWO COMING UP! 

HERE I AM IN THE STUDIO- AT COFFS HARBOUR! 

I can remember being so nervous " I was nearly sick! My little songs all recorded on an album for the first time. I look back now and wonder how I ever got through ! But I'm proud of the songs, and there are some good ones there! It's only taken me nearly 30 years to record my new (horse) album- my third I guess- that will be an exciting time for sure! The difference with this new one is- I'm totally focused now- know exactly what I want and I did not stray off the track, it truly is a (a total Horse/Rodeo) collection!
