No, No Auditions…
…no no no, yes yes yes, ha! ha! ha! Ain’t no Nanette here. Seriously, I can announce that NO AUDITIONS—the professional name/identity I came up with in the late 1970s, and used in a number of different business ventures—exists as an...
read moreMusic? Lifebloodian? Sure.
A few months back I was interviewed by Justin Lightle for his… I guess it’s a podcast? Sure. Let’s go with that term. I get very overwhelped and famboozled with terms. Especially when it comes to musical things I was involved in. They’ve said...

Well, jumpin’ up Hi HowDYYYYYYY!! I’m proud and Minnie Pearl woulda been too. Course, Ann Richards woulda had somethin’ ta say about it too, I reckon. Y’see, Stage West Theater in Ft. Worth, TX just launched a show called “ANN” and...

I’ve gone through car windshields, rolled vans into ditches, fallen from heights, crashed motorcycles, survived head-on collisions with other heads, but I’ve never been good with horses. Lotsa women are good with horses. Some of them have gone through...
