I'm a Southern Girl, born and raised in the Nashville TN area, but I've lived all over the East, including, but not limited to MIssissippi, North Carolina, West Virgina, Pennsylvania, and New York. I've got dual degrees in Chemistry and Physics, and I've done substantial work towards my Ph.D. (No, I haven't finished yet, I'm taking a break) in Quantum Chemistry.

Two Years After The Above Was Written:

Actually, this is an update, everyone... I'm returning to school in the fall in the field I should have been in from the beginning, since it was my first love even before sceince... music!!

I'm going for a Master's in Music Comp and Performance, starting in August. Hopefully, this will lead to a Doctorate !!

Wish me luck, everyone !!

NEW SONG !!!: HEY Everybody !!

Check out my Heretic US bandpage- Pagan Soul has been rerecorded and remixed- I regret that I couldn't get my female vocalist to encore for this new mix, she moved away, but Jason sounds ok singing it all; remember, though, this is mostly for demo purposes until we can find a truly talented singer.
