you know me as -     Lasagna or Hippie Chick

marital status -        single

flocked from -         Texas! Houston, actually....(Galveston Bay IS a whole 'nuther world)

favorite JB tune -     Migration. Since I spent the first 25 years of my life in Texas and the rest here
                               in sunny Florida, I truly do have a Caribbean Soul I can barely control and some
                               Texas hidden here in my heart...unless you've seen my tattoo (and who hasn't
                               then you know where I've really hidden Texas - giggles

favorite JB CD -        License to Chill (until the next one comes out)

                              2 Parrotheads. Just like Jimmy - I work (at Wild Time in John's Pass) on Tuesdays,
                              Thursdays and Saturdays (plus Friday night & Sundays). Great job - I get to listen
                              to Bubba all day. I have a day job just to keep me out of trouble - hey, you can't
                              get Jimmy's schedule without working at it!

Why I became a parrothead and why I joined the TBPH club –

I became a parrothead the first time I heard Jimmy sing "Presents to Send You" back in 1975 on A1A - then when he sang about Dallas (he has the same view of that fine city as I do) I was hooked! I've been trying to catch a peek behind Door #3 every since. As far as joining the club - it's been several years back. I was invited to a scavenger hunt at the Country Palace (what a great scene for a bunch of gypsies). I met Queen Vera and Nana Babe there for the first time, along with Lady Di and of course, Harry and Sarah Sunshine. When I was offered the communion banana slice, I knew I'd found a 'home'. This club has seen me through a lot and I've made a lot of friends to last a lifetime!
