About Me |
|
To all my dear friends, amigos, fellow guitar players, music buddies, gorgeous guys and beautiful ladies on MySpace, Thank you so much for becoming my friend! Although I've been hearing about MySpace for some time this is a brand new site for me and I'm excited by how we can all connect so easily. As I'm in the middle of recording a new CD which promises to be very different from anything you've heard me do before, please forgive me for not being able to respond to your very kind messages. When my life gets a little less hectic I look forward to doing so. As most of you know I was born in London, England but am now living in New England. In between I've lived in Toronto, Paris, Mexico, Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles and most recently Miami. I must have been a gypsy or wandering minstrel in a past life! A journalist recently asked me to name some of the most meaningful, interesting or unusual experiences I've had so for fun I thought I'd share them with you. Please don't think I'm name dropping as that's not my intent. The order is random and not necessarily chronological. -crossing the Atlantic three times on an ocean liner, losing the talent show I'd entered with my sister playing a recorder duo of The Bluebells of Scotland, but winning first and second prizes for the art competition -spending an unforgettable year with my brother, sister and parents in the hillside Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende -living in both a garret and an 11th century château in Paris, France, while studying guitar with Alexander Lagoya -having private guitar lessons from Andre Segovia, Narcisco Yepes and Julian Bream -playing over a hundred concerts as the opening act for Gordon Lightfoot in the 70s -being a houseguest at Windsor Castle by the Queen of England and serenading her with my guitar. Almost losing my nose to one of her Corgies! -winning five Juno Awards (Canada's equivalent of the Grammy) -having dinner with Rudolf Nureyev, my adolescent ballet hero -being presented by Liberace in Las Vegas, - playing at the launch of Adnan Khashoggi's yacht Nabila in Monte Carlo -hiking in the woods with my wonderful artist friend Robert Bateman -eating cucumber sandwiches in the royal family jet, while Prince Philip was flying the plane -recording my Christmas Dreams song with Roger Whittaker and Georges Zamfir -my former husband and I hanging out with our Beverly Hills neighbors Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. -getting a standing ovation after a private concert for the sequestered OJ Simpson jury -giving a concert at Mother Teresa's hospice in Calcutta, India -watching a polo game in the royal box in New Delhi, India with the Maharana of Udaipur -canoeing, hiking, and skinny dipping each summer with Canada's Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who was my boyfriend for eight years. -playing guitar for the summit conference at Montebello and sitting at the table with Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Helmut Schmidt. -performing Albinoni and Vivaldi with the Boston Pops Orchestra conducted by John Williams -paddling two weeks in a canoe to play a concert for the Cree natives in Moose factory, Northern Ontario. -being a guest three times on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson -recording at the home studio of Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and working with the late Michael Kamen -being conducted by Maurice Jarre ( Dr Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia) while recording the music for A Walk In The Clouds which won the Golden Globe for best music -making a record with Sir Andrew Davis and the English chamber Orchestra, even though I was sick as a dog both days. -tuna fishing off the coast of Costa Rica with San Salvador's legendary, Commandante Zero -Robert Redford calling me to say he'd been a fan for years and sitting with him in the LA studio while Quizz Show was being scored -touring with my Persona band in the 80s and playing an electric nylon string guitar -surviving an Atlantic hurricane, an Australian cyclone, an emergency NY Concorde landing, an LA and Tokyo earthquake and a Malibu fire -slow dancing with Placido Domingo and disco dancing with Rod Stewart -playing guitar in such interesting places as Kathmandu, Beijing, Bombay, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Moscow, Tokyo, Greenland, Trinidad, Havana, Lisbon, Rome, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Vienna, Stockholm, Zurich, Santiago, Sao Paolo, Brazilia, Rio de Janeiro, Lima, Bogota and hundreds more cities around the globe.
