She attended college at Chico State University from 1975-1978 to study communications and theater arts but left after two years to pursue music full-time. In 1979 she moved to Eugene, Oregon to continue college and quickly became immersed in the city’s emerging music scene, serving as the entertainment editor of the Lane Community College newspaper, ''The Torch'' and singing with a local band. In 1982 and back in the Bay Area, Black joined an all-female cover band. Although she initially did not know how to play bass, she learned on-the-job. In 1990 she formed an oldies band with two members of her former all-female band, performing at fairs, festivals and private parties.〔DeAnn Rossetti, Mercer Island Reporter () "ROCKRGRL Rules: Founder Celebrates Magazine's 10th Year" November 24, 2008〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carla DeSantis Black」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
