Musical Background. I was born and raised in Coos Bay, Oregon, and started playing keyboards at the age of six years. I was lucky enough to be taken on and tutored by Miss Norma Lyons, who had been a celebrated concert pianist across Europe, but was forced to retire due to a severe case of polio. I credit Miss Lyons for my love of music, and particularly keyboards. At the age of 16, I left home to take an opportunity to play piano and sing with a touring Band. I’ve been playing music and singing with Bands, Trio’s and Duo’s as far back as I can remember. My musical travels took me all over the West Coast of America from Mexico in the South, to Alaska in the North. With my (now deceased) husband, we played as a Duo called ‘Badley Bent’ for nearly 25 years, based in Haines Alaska. We travelled all over that area, to Ketchikan, Dutch Harbor, Sitka, Juneau, and any place people needed music! I enjoy playing most genres of music, and although I can read music, I prefer to play by ear, there is more creativity involved when you play from the heart. After 37 years of gigging, I’ve owned many keyboards, but over the last 7 years have been playing Yamahas. Firstly a 740, then a 2100, followed by a 9000, then a Tyros 1, a 9000 Pro, and recently I became one of the first owners of the new PSR S900, which I love! All of my music is played and recorded using the multi-track function. I feel this gives me the flexibility as an artist to make changes to any song, any time. In 1999, I met my future husband, John Haddleton, (better known as Musicmaker), in a Musicians Chat Room on Yahoo and over a period of 18 months we decided that we should meet, and I made the trip from Alaska to the United Kingdom. It was my ‘big adventure‘, as I flew only a couple of weeks after 9/11, and it was my first ever flight! All of the airports (and the aircraft seats) were deserted! A year after landing in UK, in 2002, John and I were married, and now live in North Staffordshire, England. If one person is to be recognized here for their inspiration and support, it is John, I couldn’t do it without him. Presented, for your pleasure, is the music I create, and hope it brings you enjoyment… SunnyH Earlier Volumes from Sunny Haddleton
