Vagabond..."I once believed I would know where my place was when I arrived there.  I hitch-
hiked across country alone , traveled around the US performing, and moved several times (from East
to West Coast and back) as a younger adult."
Partner..."My first partner later became my first husband and father of our beautiful, talented, daughter,
Amber.  We formed a dance-able duo known as 'Aurora'"
Soloist..."I've performed as a soloist most of my life, learning how to accompany myself with guitar &
piano instrumentation - yet always hoping to find a strong connection with other creative writers &
reliable/talented performers"
Agent..."My first partner & I opened an entertainment agency in the Northwest called
'Aurora Entertainment'"
Board-member..."I served on the board of the musicians' union (Boise, ID) and on the
board of a wedding trade show called 'The Wedding Party'" (more...)
Mother..."I took a hiatus from performing while raising my daughter, but I kept my hands and heart
in it for her.  She became a wonderful vocalist in her own right.  During the Holiday season, we have
made a tradition of performing together."
Soulfully Nostalgic Music with a Modern Flair
...intimate soothing to refreshing whimsy, jazzy smoothing to
gutsy bluesy, stories portrayed & emotions conveyed...
Teacher..."One of my earliest music jobs was implementing a toddler music program & teaching a
group beginning piano class at a community center (photo to right).
My New Life..."In 2001, music came alive in my life once more - not only with lyrics & music, but
with a new partnership.  My new husband is supportive while I pursue my desires to write & perform
again.  The result of my writing efforts was released October, 2007 in my 15-song original CD "Renewed"
Grandmother..."My twin grand-daughters have prompted me to be more playful in my writing &
performing.  In 2006, I wrote some songs just for them, and compiled those with a few favorite covers
onto a personal CD just for them.  I intend to publish those children's songs and new ones in the near
future.  Now I have created a new performance entity "Grandma Paula"!
