Almost Famous Southern Style



It's been a hot minute since I graced my page with a post. Life is super busy with web site development, video production, hair, and the list goes on...

My local band music is trilling along while I cook and life is nice at 5 am. I can see the first vestiges of a sunrise trying to peek through the clouds. Purple and orange faintly glowing behind stormy gray clouds and wind pushing waves frothy and crashing on the cold beach...

I am a musician as you all know. That's why there is so much music on my blog, of course. I am certifiably a music geek. Local and regional musicians tend to know one another. My list is as varied as the tunes that became popular from my musical buddies...

Firehouse hailed from Charlotte NC , my home town. I dated Michael for 2 years before they went to LA to become a famous band. Had to go hear them at the Holiday Inn, backing this ancient singer, doing lounge tunes to make a buck...lol. The things you endure in relationships.
Somewhere, there is a photo of me in Prince fringed gloves, a bolero hat and mini skirt - topless... with my hands covering my breasts
"Don't Treat Me Bad", and "Love of a Lifetime" became hits in the early nineties.

Collective Soul out of Eastern NC
"Shine", "December", "The World I Know", "Gel" , "Heavy": All made big hits on your alternative stations in the 90's. Acquainted, met at a show in Charlotte with my friends from Animal Bag, a heavy band out of Charlotte.

Animal Bag and I were close. I was caught holding the broken stairrail in Boo's house...once again, topless. We were playing strip quarters His grandma caught me. Severely embarassing. Also scraped my boobs off on the road in front of their house while sledding on rum. Yeah good times GnR would have been proud. They made it to Headbanger's Ball before we lost Rich and Boo.They both succumbed to drugs.

~RIP Rich and Boo the full decks and BeHaus!!
this post is for you ~

Darius Rucker is from SC around Clemson and was lead singer for Hootie & The Blowfish. Met through my friends in The Megaphonics out of Matthews NC.
"Wagon Wheel" has made it as a country hit.

Alicia Bridges came out of Atlanta in the disco era, 1978. She and I met at a show in Rock Hill SC and have been friends ever since.
"I Love The Night Life" was a nightclub standard

Hung out with the bassist for Sugarcreek for a few weeks at 19. They made it to Star Search too
"Conquest for the Commoner"

Broke my foot in the mountains with the drummer for Antiseen...Yeah we were trying to make love on the rocks of a rushing river. It sounded good anyways...
The B-52s hailed from Athens area and so did R.E.M.
John Mayer came out of Atlanta, saw him in small bars for the longest.And Mother's Finest came from there too. I admit doing some illicit activities with the singer

Still besties with the guitarist from The Vandals, they made it to Star Search when we were 20 something...After, he got in a bath tub with his shorts on, when I thought he was being romantic The lead singer took me to a porn hotel with themes but I wouldn't do anything because he was too big lol No seriously!!!

Close friends with lead singer from Blue Monday, did her hair and makeup for photo shoots...
One good friend became the executive producer for music videos at Capitol Records...

James Taylor hailed from around Raleigh NC area originally. The biggest on our list, but I never knew him, just saw him play.

College was set on recording and sound engineering for me but while I attended: I sang for The Marshal Law band, then a rock band called Savant, and a Puerto Rican friend and I had a restaurant bar duet accoustic gig every week.
So now you know how deep my music relationship is and wow what a wild and strange trip it has been and remains.

"Penny Lane : I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if ya never take it seriosuly, ya never get hurt, ya never get hurt, ya always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends."

Song for this post
Hello Cosmo - Animal Bag
Mirrored Shades - Animal Bag
Everybody - Animal Bag
Wooden Ships - Animal Bag
