Hello, Friends!
Thanks to your support, I placed in three categories
of the Austin Chronicle Music Poll. I can't tell you
how elated I was! As you can imagine, the competition
in Austin is tremedous, so to be in any top ten lists
is a thrill! But I couldn't do it without you. Thank
you a zillion happy smiles.
#9 Best Female Vocalist
#9 Best Producer (for "Motherlode")

Hill Country Ride for AIDS
Well, I've done it! I have accepted the challenge and am participating in the Hill Country Ride for AIDS on April 28, 2007. I am helping to provide life-saving support to thousands of people living with HIV and AIDS through the excellent work of 10 local AIDS services organizations in the Greater Austin area.
