Welcome!Years ago, I had a site called judyklass.com, but it got eaten by an evil haircare company called Mucota, and now someone wants to sell the site back to me for $1,200 ... So, here is judy-klass.com. I hope you'll browse around, and learn a bit about my music, my books, my scripts and other stuff I have going on right now. If you want to give me a shout, I can be reached, as ever, at: JudyKwrites@aol.com.
