She began humming original tunes as a child, and wrote what she considers to be her first real song at the age of 14. That song is called Avocado Sunset. She briefly studied guitar at the Old Town School of Folk Music, where her guitar teacher launched her onto a road of musical discovery, after hearing Avocado Sunset. He immediately told her to listen to The Incredible String Band. She fell in love with them, and discovered scores of amazing artists for years after, such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, The Pentangle, Steeleye Span, The Cocteau Twins, etc. She moved to New York City in 1981, but found the open mic auditions daunting, and stopped pursuing a career in music. But she continued to create music, much of it with inexpensive recording equipment, and toy instruments. With a rudimentary home studio recorder, she arranged both old and new material with guitar, keyboards, drum box, a reverb box and delay pedal, and a hook up for her acoustic guitar. In some cases, entirely different songs were produced because she couldn't figure out how to translate their original sound to the additional instrumentation, or simply couldn't play it. She abandoned music after the death of her closest friend. This is a truly mini-bio, because Gail's interests and paths are so many and varied. She was before her time, or after it. In 1981, no one wanted to hear songs like Avocado Sunset.
