April March - Bio

APRIL MARCH

Hello Harry,

How are you today? I'm crabby because it's raining and I can't run around outside. Thanks for writing this Bio thang for me. Here's what you should include in it:

- I sing and write songs in French and English.
- I was born in New York City.
- My mother was a museum guide. My father was a literary editor.
- I began learning French from a puppet named Monsieur Hibou (Mr. Owl) in nursery school.
- I live in California now.
- I play guitar and piano very badly, so I write songs by the Arthur Alexander method, which is by humming the melodies to the musicians.
- I was in 3 bands prior to this. The Pussywillows, The Shitbirds and The Haves - all have had L.P., C.D., and/or 7" single releases.
- I've recorded with Ronnie Spector (also performed with her as a Ronette), Jonathan Richman and Brian Wilson.
- I write songs and record for film and television.
- I'm a painter. I usually paint as soon as I wake up in the morning.
- I used to be a professional animator.
- I like to read.

I think that covers it. I really appreciate you doing this for me. I didn't ask anyone else but you, in case you're wondering.

godspeed xox
