As a woman in her seventh decade putting together her first CD, I have been asked why now have you decided to record? Since that question will come up again , I will attempt to answer it here. A saying comes to mind when you don't know where you're going every road takes you there. Inner-city Detroit may not have been the ideal place to grow up, but grow up there I did, and there were some benefits to the experience. Detroit was a melting pot in the 50's and great music filled the air. I listened to rhythm and blues, jazz, country and gospel music. I was also influenced by the music of my culture which was Greek. My mother played piano and my aunts Alice and Kiki would sing beautiful Greek love songs. Music was in the air that I breathed and I sometimes would skip a day of school just to stay home an listen to music. When I was sixteen I was supposed to meet with Berry Gordy (Motown mogul) I never went to meet him cause I was too insecure about my abilities as a singer. Later on my friend Don Z who was a disc jockey on late night radio encouraged me to become a singer but I didn't have the confidence to pursue a career at that time either . I married in my mid- twenties, and left for California where I raised my family. I recently got back to doing what I always loved "singing". this CD is the result of some great musicians offering to play for me.
