I’m happy to report that I’ve moved back to the mountains of Western North Carolina. The town of Cashiers captured my heart back in 2012 when I came here to take a job selling country club memberships. I had to return to Florida in 2015 where I spent most of my time trying to get back to the mountains. I don’t take my life in Florida for granted. My son is there, and dear friends I’ve known for decades. There is a wonderful musical community there and they couldn’t be more supportive. 

Life takes all kinds of turns but since I’ve returned to the mountains, I’ve been welcomed with so much enthusiasm. The standard greeting here is “Welcome home, Tina.” I’ve had some wonderful musical moments since returning and I’m anxious to build my musical calendar here. There isn’t any other place like this and I’ve lived a lot of places in my life. Stay tuned for good things to come. Life is short – follow your dreams.
