That is what I am looking for! I have embarked upon my search for lodgings in Amsterdam! It is very exciting. At the suggestion of my well traveled cousin (Miss International - this one is) I am seriously considering leasing an apartment versus the typical hotel scenario. I have been systematically surfing the net for suitable places.I decided to dig up my old Amsterdam info materials (from my last trip there in 1998) and yes I still have it in a file marked: "Amsterdam" Anyhoo, I decided to …
Just Do It Already!!
Procrastination is my middle name... I am feeling like a poster child for one of the seven sins: SLOTH!! You see, I have so many plans and dreams but I just can't seem to find anything more comfortable than being in my bed or on the couch--alone!!

The Shivers
As most of you know I am a professional musician. ( ie. I pay my rent and all of my bills and whatever else I want from money I make singing & performing) I have my own band called the Shivers which consists of six or ten - depending on whether I have the horn section or not - men. As you might imagine it isn't always easy to be da boss of several adult African American men musicians but for the most part we are cool.
