Honey was born in
California in1952 . Her father was in theAir Force and her family moved toEngland for three years, when she was a child. There she started taking classicalpiano lessons at the age of four and pursued the lessons until the age of 16 after they had moved back to California. She enjoyed playing jam sessions with her friends, but she really discovered pianoblues when she heard a record ofOtis Spann . For the next two years she would practise extensively.In
1972 she went toChicago and played with a number of legendary blues musicians. After her return to California she saw a concert ofRod Piazza , who at the time was playing with a band called Bacon Fat. Being immensely impressed with Rod's music she arranged to meet him for an audition.
