Other bands you play in:  Used to play in several, but being a mom and a student take up most of my time.

What makes your job playing AC/DC most enjoyable?  AC/DC is one of and always has been one of my favorite bands and M. Young one of my favorite guitar players so it's an honor just to play their music.   Playing their music AND making people happy kicks ass!

What's the worst part of the job?  Being away from my family.

Do you have any formal music training or are you just a genius?  Neither.  Took piano and chorus in grade school, but that is it.

Do you have a "favorite moment" story about playing in Hell's Belles?  I loved playing in Japan.  We played Naval bases and some of those audiences were the most appreciative we've ever had.  One group of people had just arrived from a tour of duty in Iraq and they were some of the most intensely happy and grateful group of people I had ever seen!  At times, their energy was almost a little frightening.

What's your favorite AC/DC song to play?  Right now?  Bad Boy Boogie

What's your favorite venue to play?  I love playing the Fox Theater in Boulder but I also love the 8150 in Vail, Co.  The bouncy stage!!!!

Favorite TV show:  Don't really watch TV, but I did get addicted to Survivor for a short period of time.

Random fun fact about yourself:   I truly believe that if bald eagles could speak, they would do so with the voice of Patrick Stewart.
