ABOUT ME

Nicknames: Lightning, Sugar, Susie, Cisco Kid, Ave Maria, Carmen Miranda, Morticia, Alexis and Yoko(due to large tinted prescription bi-foculs), The Night Hawk..
ASSESSMENTS
Assessed as having commercial possibilities in the eighties by I.S.A. Compared to Blondie, Yoko Ono, Sally Oldfield, U2 more recently which inspired me to keep writing and improving background sounds in music...my voice was described(to my delight) as a 'strange haunting voice' by a Music Publisher from IRELAND but another comment prompted me(wrongly) to just do it for fun... regretted this ....Was Described as a 'Whispering Songwriter' hence the whispers over some old material revamped over last few years at REELTIME MUSIC....
ACHIEVEMENTS(Small)
In school choir and sang 'Wings of A Dove' Solo in local Parish Church...came second out of 44 Soloists at Hamilton Town Hall with school choir.. Won Talent Competition at Butlins singing 'Save the Last Dance For Me' and came close second locally singing Walking Back to Happiness..Sang 'The Wedding' at local Hotel in the break when Sydney Devine was main act.... Filled in with bands at Lanark Memorial Hall/Other Venues, Played a little Folk Guitar at events which my small-time agent uncle (Peter Smith) found for
me.Singing at a Councillor's Presentation a Hotelier offered me two Permanent Gigs but had no transport hence I declined....I didn't really wish to be part of a band and enjoyed being SOLO....
INTERESTS
Studied DREAMS and PSYCHOLOGY of DREAMS ..Love photographying and painting the unusual ...CAT LOVER...ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES interesting to me....Studying Jewish Mysticism, Torah derivations ..Learned about male and female properties in water - lots about Planet Earth and surrounding planets...

MINI ACHIEVEMENTS
MOON BASE ALPHA was on compilation tape with other 23 Songwriters tracks in a Hollywood Store..Received a HARMONY AWARD from an INDIE Company in Hollywood for same song...ORIENTAL ROCK came close second for TV Use...Music now placed in several companies for future use in Film/Adverts..Music Company from IRELAND interested in my voice but I made wrong choice of letting this go for wrong reasons...NASHVILLE sent several Indie Contracts which were not all in my best interests therefore wre not signed..Met the man who discovered HARRY SECOMBE whilst singing in BLACKPOOL HOTEL who offered to promote me even though he was 86! His name was TOM LAWSON..What a great character...
A postcard from NASHVILLE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME sent by a RECORD COMPANY who had an interest in my music is STILL one of my greatest treasures ..offered record deal, radio play at CAPITOL on a 'chance' meeting with a friend of a friend in a studio but declined for wrong reasons again! Intended to produce Healing Oriental Music due to great encouragement before drifting away from the Music Business for years quite happily...Due to good feedback decided to take it up as a hobby after very early retirement..ended up with 'offers' to write a book about a portrait of JDM displayed on eBay as an experiment..declined and decided to 'go it alone' due to eye problems ..I joined an A-List Bloggers Bootcamp prematurely but moving forward slowly but surely...the Blog stories are writing themselves.....Mainly on Prophecies about Bands who are 'not what they seem'...I mean this in a good way! Joint collaborations have been 'inspirational' on both sides and these too were and are still borne 'intuitively' ...a 'select' few people on MySpace, YouTube and Ubetoo who have done well are in personal touch and we help each other by collaborating and promoting each other's work..all inspirational and none planned...
