Hogtown… Muddy York…. The Big Smoke…. Tdot…. where I’ve been going, who I’ve been seeing, what I’ve been drinking (G&T w/lemon if you must know. Bombay Sapphire is the chosen one.)

I’ve always been a Heart fan, I mean what warm blooded female rock music lover isn’t? I wanted the powerful pipes of Ann Wilson and the effortless beauty and guitar skills of her sister Nancy. I grew up loving songs like “Barracuda” and “Crazy on You”, and greatly admiring the women who created that music that helped to raise me. And soon, I’d discover an incarnation of that great band that would make me love them even more.
