Studied English and Music at St. Olaf College - Spanish (language) I am a professional singer; mostly and especially Jazz; I am also a composer, amateur pianist, and I am waiting for a great guy to spend my "golden" years with, must be independent and financially stable....any ideas? I travel each year to other countries to perform so I can support my creative and financial existence. I've been doing this for more than 20 years. I am also the proud mother of 3 GREAT young adults; Bill, Asha and Lila (short for "Dalila"). Currently, I am single, living alone and enjoying all that life has to offer me. God is GOOD!
