Valley people: Carolyn Taylor

Name: Carolyn Taylor

Occupation: music student/locomotive engineer-in-training

Age: 24

Hometown: Mackenzie B.C.

If you get a chance go see: FLOW (For the Love of Water)

Right now I am reading: Empire of Illusion by Chris Hedges

I’m listening to: The Reverand Horton Heat Live and In Colour

At least once everyone should: ride the steam train at the B.C. Forest Discovery Centre

Most people don’t know I: am a classically trained pianist, but still love Horton Heat

Proudest or happiest moment: getting into the UVic school of music on piano

Embarrassing moment: conducting an orchestra left-handed and getting ridiculed for it

If I was appointed queen of the valley I would: make proper-use-of-roundabouts part of mandatory driver training

Before I die: drive the steam train by myself

Words I live by: When life hands you a lemon, say “oh yeah, I like lemons. What else you got?”
