Answers to Questions:

How did you choose your username? I named myself after a cookie, which took its name from a city in British Columbia.

What is the main reason you sing? Sorry, there's more than one! It's a creative outlet; it's a challenge; it's a way to share something with others and hopefully spread a bit of happiness around.

I was a choir singer before I ever tried karaoke, so this is a welcome, different way to think about music. I enjoy trying songs the way you might walk in someone else's shoes. Sometimes they fit in a way I wouldn't expect and sometimes they just don't. If I'm lucky, both I and my listeners learned something about the songs along the way, but it certainly doesn't always turn out that way!
