WELCOME TO STOMER
CREATIONS
Keeping the name alive. True happiness is sharing music with
others.
Greetings to everyone.
Welcome to my website. I am glad you came to visit. My
name is Mary Catherine Stomer McGregor. Stomer is my family name
from generations back. It is of German origin I have discovered. So
here you have it; Stomer Creations.
I am a songwriter. I love to sing. I have loved music all of my
life. I remember growing up and hearing my grandparents sing hymns
all day long and I would sing with them and experience so much joy.
As I approached puberty I started creating poems and short
stories in my head and I would write them down. As I approached high
school I was really into writing whatever popped into my
head,whether silly or serious stuff! I remember that my cousin,
soul/r&b artist Samona Cooke, was very encouraging and told me
never to give up my dreams! To always strive to reach and keep the
music alive in me and share it with others. Well, as I got
older, more family responsibility was required of me to care for my
grandparents who were very old and in failing health.
Also I was trying to finish college. So the writing was put on
hold to care for them. They both died and during this time I was
working in the health care profession and establishing my career in
nutrition. Now, 20 years later I am at the cross roads of life for
the next level. Samona, I always kept the
music safe in my heart. I am fulfilling my dreams of music
and education. I am attending Grand Canyon Univesity, majoring in
Elementary Education. Working with children is the most
rewarding experience I have encountered. And sharing music with
them is so special. It really is
TRUE HAPPINESS!
Below are 16 songs, with more to come. These songs come from
