My name is Jennifer Anderson, it used to be Jennifer Rice. I need music in my life; lots of it. I have three fantastic kids that seem to be with me at all times, and in all places, so the music we are hearing has to be appropriate for their sweet ears. They are so cool though, because they have really good taste. One time when my car cd player was broken and we had to listen to the radio they complained like crazy about the music selection. I was loving it (not the radio music, but the fact that they so vehemently disliked it). So my family is a huge part of my life, but I also love old Victorian novels. My favorite authors are George Eliot, Jane Austen, Dickens, Wilkie Collins, and Elizabeth Gaskell. Food, cooking and chocolate (either eating or trying not to eat it) occupy lots of my time.

But back to the music; it goes well with everything in life. Whatever I am doing, if I have good music playing then most likely there will be a smile on my face.  Alone, or with his band The Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan has been my favorite musician for about 14 years. He is the creamiest chocolate in the whole box. His voice is beautiful, be it soft or screaming. I need my daily “Billy fix.”

I get super excited when I find a great band and I hope this blog opens the door to finding and sharing lots of music with each other.
