Moved back to the states in 89. I am currently working as a musician in 2 bands.

I also lead a classic vocal jazz standards trio called "Infusion with Octavia" We cover some Ella, Billie, Gershwin, Bette, Barbara, Frankie, and some show tunes. My husband and I are living in Lancaster County Pa, in an ancient log cabin raising our children. I am very pleased to say my kids school district is vastly improved over the crappie attitudes most of the teacheing staff had when we attended scbool.
