"Fantasy Woman Feel Your Wings, Sunshine in Your Hair. Fill the World with Your Song, fill the place you belong. fill the whole world,the whole world with your dream!"
"An energy bubbles to the surface in her songs, which comes across as smooth and breathy - almost jazzy." (Peninsula Gateway Newspaper. January 9, 2002.)
jo writes about the most intimate and trying aspects of her life. She was raised in a loving, close family on a farm with two brothers and a sister, only to be later find herseld dis-inherited because of a world that still thinks men are more important -- worth more! It has been the hardest thing in her life to accept.
The track is called "Sister's Song. "One day my brothers went away; it happened very slowly. They'd faded from my childhood heart. I tried to bring them back, but they were gone..." The story was featured in The Edmonton Journal newspaper along with a link for readers to hear the track.
A bonus feature to the CD booklet is a memoir jo writes about her growing up that definitely brings a tear to the eye, listeners say. It's illustrated and just may remind many of you of your own childhood and dreams that were laid way back then. Desire for family never goes away.
jo has sung many different styles. She was raised on music. As a kid she'd go to the piano if she was in trouble and pretend she was Julie Andrews. People actually commented recently at a performance at Pontevechio's in Seattle that her voice reminded them of a young Julie Andrews. (As a matter of fact she's often getting mistaken for celebrities. Just back from Los Angeles, people at a concert thought she was Debra Harry aka "Blondie" and asked her to autograph programs. And she's a dead ringer for Geena Davis.)
But jo just wants to be herself. Though she studied acting in Los Angeles, she dropped it preferring her own lines to those written by someone else. Fiercely independent but shy, jo has struggled to find her place in the world.
