joel

I remember falling in love with Joel while watching him play guitar.

I loved being his 'back-up' singer

So cliche.

He introduced me to Over the Rhine

as well as hundreds of other musicians I've come to know & love

He has always gotten aggression out differently

Some men play sports

Some men drink

Some men start fight clubs

Joel plays electric guitar

His 'day job' is graphic design

He does it day & night, it seems

However, music is his passion.

You know as a Mom, you always think your kids are the best:

athletes

musicians

singers

dancers

actors

I truly feel that my husband is one of the most talented singer/song writers

of his day.  (and not in a 'mom' sorta way)

It's just the truth.

I love you baby  -  thanks for filling our home with music.

Thanks for being OK with our kids throwing your picks inside your guitar.

Thanks for gently allowing Leland to strum like a caveman.

We love you baby.
