Questions with Christy:
Q: How did you get into music?
A: I inherited the evil musician gene
from my Navy trumpet-playing dad, and then when I was 7
a little voice in the mirror told me I was going to be singer
when I grew up. I’m still tryin to learn how….
Q:
How long have you been playing?
A: Flute? 27 years. But you can’t
sing and play flute at the same time so I picked up the
acoustic about 10 years ago in the Marine Corps Band. Learned
harmony from an old bass player when I was in high school
and been singing all my life, since the Chipmunks and the
Beatles were playin on my mom’s stereo.
Q:
What do you think of your bandmates?
A: They make me believe there really
is such a thing as destiny….they are the band I always
wanted to be in. Fer real. They’re the best. ;)
Q:Who
are some of your influences?
A: Tchaikovsky, Bach, Sylvia, Faith
and Tim, Wynton Marsalis and Kathleen Battle, and Olivia
Newton-John.
Q:
What would you be doing if you weren't a musician?
A: Listening to top secret communiqués
at the CIA or Embassy duty at the Marine Barracks, Washington,
DC. (or any other embassy). Ooh-rah DevilDogs.
It's
in the genes...thanks Christy.
