TBT - Throwback Thursday!

19 years ago, I was at a crossroads... I was living up

in Boston and trying to decide if I should stay on at

Perkins School for the Blind as a Music Therapist or

accept this new job as an elementary music teacher in

this town I'd never been to before called Franklin...

although I'd just finished my music ed degree, I was 

really loving my time at Perkins... needless to say, I

think, I made a fantastic choice and have never looked

back ever since... I feel so very fortunate... Now, here's

a photo from my time in Hollywood, CA, in the 1980s:

Music Rocks!

Love me some window paint!
