When I was a child, I wanted to be a composer when I grew up. My parents supported my learning to play music but believed that musicians could not make a decent living so discouraged me from pursuing music as a career. I continued playing and learning music throughout my life and had the dream that one day I could get around to composing and publishing music. With the release of my first album, Peaceful Being, at age 72, I fulfilled my dream. I am grateful for this opportunity to share my own, personal music with you at last.
