That was a psychotic thought in my head many years ago.
When I first went to Menninger in Houston, Texas, they thought I had a shadow of Asperger’s. I get stuck on things--mostly the beginning of movies. 
I fell in love with Oscar Wilde back in 2009 when I learned something quite incredible at this mental health facility: I attended a class at Menninger, learning about a famous writer who channeled dead relatives to help him write. 

When I finally dedicated myself to finishing my book, I prayed for Oscar Wilde to help me. I don't know if I believed it but I wanted to and sometimes I even pretend to believe because it works.

Enjoy!  Shana

I wrote my first song at age thirteen. I do not read piano music very well. I have over 30 songs and they are all in my head. I did perform live at an open mic in downtown Philadelphia a few times during my college years. I also performed in Chile and in Spain. I  am happy to have a place to put the songs I have written over the years. Thank you Sound Cloud.
