I've had a tough summer, so I'm not feeling very creative. I won't be participating very heavily in 5090 this year. My dear brother Alister died suddenly and unexpectedly on May 17th and to add insult to injury, while we were there in Evansville to bury him, a woman, who was texting, turned left right in front of us. Our car was totaled. Luckily, I was the only person injured - nothing broken, but I had bruised ribs and sternum. It hurt to breathe for a month. Currently, my 89 year old mother-in-law is visiting from Florida, and her needs are also taking up a lot of my time. Hopefully I'll be back full throttle in February for FAWM 2018.

BIO:
Born in Scotland. Now a naturalized citizen of the USA. Math teacher by trade & currently semiretired. Songwriter and composer by compulsion. Three grown grand-kids, one son, miscellaneous step children & a supportive husband. Love the blues, rock, pop, big band, old fashioned jazz and praising the Lord in all genres. I have 17 published albums of math music (yes, you read that correctly), Contemporary Christian originals, some Hymns and Christmas music, and a sprinkling of secular love songs. CDBaby, iTunes and Spotify net me about $10 a month. I DREAM of selling something to a movie or TV show some day. Sigh. Vocal chords and piano are my preferred instruments.
