 What do you think of Deirdre Flint?
I love her to the marrow of
my bones
She is the queen of my
rollerama
I'm choosing the automated
option
Her voice is annoying, her
manner is cloying
Deirdre reminds me of

I ended up as a musician sheerly by accident.

I was teaching Elementary school in Northeast DC and my first class of very tall fifth grade students loved to sing.  So I bought a guitar, mainly for survival purposes, spent the next summer learning chords and writing songs about American history. Come September, I was ready to accompany my students.  The next group of fifth graders didn't like to sing. They sang anyway.    I moved back to PA in 1993 to get my masters in Education at the University of Pennsylvania and spent two years teaching school in New Jersey.  During this time, I started writing adult songs and hoping that bands and artists would cover them, but it was soon clear that the quickest way to get songs heard was to do them myself. 

In 96, I moved to Korea to teach college English, spend some time living in a foreign country, practice the guitar intensively and save up money to make a CD.  I crammed guitar by going to The National Guitar Workshop in New Milford CT, for three and five weeks at a time. (Now I'm a student again in the summers)

In June 99, I released The Shuffleboard Queens , The CD has been receiving airplay throughout the country.
