Ms. Spear - Personal Biography
I was born in 1973 in Greenville, KY. On this day the #1 song topping the charts was Vicki Lawrences' The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia. You may remember the remake by Reba. I mention it as I love music from the 60's,70's & 80's.
When I find spare time I love to paint in oils and work with digital photography. When at home I enjoy spending time with my family including my bulldog Biscuit and Siamese cat Panda.
