My musical incarnations over the years: Left-1970; Right-1980; Center-2000. Where was I in 1990? PARENTING!
Peace To All Who Enter Here.
Middle-aged empty-nester who realized, rather late, that she was born to be a bass player.
Update: April 2012
Most of my music time now is spent on double bass for playing in the community orchestra.
Still a few gigs for the blues jam band, Pelican Railroad, but we lost our weekly gig and the other guys in the band are in other bands as well. Plus the guys have kids now and parenting takes up their time. :)
