Ten minutes of energy-gobbling obsession! Yes, this album is short, but packed.

Carolyn heard music for the first time as she was cradled in the arms of
family members who took turns trying to lull her to sleep. No matter how
long they paced the hallway, the little insomniac just cried to their
lullabies. Perhaps these were her first voice lessons. In a few years,
coming home from Kindergarten meant picking out the melodies(on toy
instruments)she had learned at school. Soon she was composing her own
songs, and at age 10, with input from her sister Anna Marie, created a
musical, THE MERMAID WHO WANTED AN ADVENTURE.

After a performance(in front of her entire junior high school)of her own
20-minute toy piano fantasia, Connecticut's STAMFORD ADVOCATE sent a
reporter and photographer to her home. Carolyn was featured on the front
page of a major newspaper. A local piano teacher saw the article and gave
Carolyn free lessons. In one week she learned how to read music and
gradually wrote down all the compositions playing around in her head.

Graduating from Western CT State College with a degree in music education,
Carolyn was launched into the adult world of will-I-be-able-to-pay-the-rent
and when-will-I-ever-find-my-man? During a particularly soul-searing
infatuation, music was her only solace. So she felt compelled to pour out I
CAN'T STOP. Too ashamed of her inflamed feelings, she hid the song and
related prose for two decades.

Then along came David, a violin student of hers, and Carolyn realized she
had found her man and married him. With his gentle encouragement she was
able to pull her artwork out of the closet and resume her dreams.

Currently living in the Seattle area, Carolyn is planning to record some of
her children's songs and piano fantasias.
