Smile


A big part of my creative development came during the time I was in a band called Circe's Smile. My cousins Rob and Andy, natural musicians, put together an avant garde rock band and invited me to be the singer. Andy was a much better singer than I was, but he would much rather play the drums.

Though my time with the band was short lived, I cherish the memory of singing to Rob's melodious keyboard on top of Andy's steady backbeat. The rush of being on stage playing our mad cabaret to a small clot of fans was the candy that made us smile.
