Brightening Your Day One Song at a Time
Helping People Find Their Joy
A Little about Me
I’ve always been drawn to music from an early age. When I was a student, my mom used to say, “Janet, if they could put your studies to music, you’d be an A student!”
I'm blessed to be a self-taught musician with over 40 years of experience. I started to learn at the age of 19, and I play by ear. This means if I know the tune in my head, I can usually (90% of the time) figure out how to play it on the guitar.

Performing for the Elderly
My mom spent the last 5 years of her life in a nursing home, so my sister and I used to go there and sing for the residents. The reaction was priceless. Seeing them connecting with my music and having a great time was so rewarding.
Ever since then, I have been hooked. I've played music on and off over the past 27 years for nursing home residents and family and friends, and I hope to keep entertaining for years to come.
Music I Play
I can play a wide variety of music, including some real oldies from the ‘40s and ‘50s. My repertoire also includes music from the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s. I have a list of Christmas/holiday music for that time of year and Americana for other holidays.
Please get in touch with me to request a spreadsheet of all the songs I can play at my live musical performances.
Equipment
If needed, I have an amplifier and mic setup for larger rooms or outdoor courtyards. For a group of 30 to 40 people inside, I can usually do without the mic and amp, but this is up to you.
My Mission
I want to entertain people of all ages to spread a little more joy in the world around us.
