We did, Monday, a read-through, the first act; Tuesday, the second act. And then we did two shows.
When I got into the music business in 1976, there weren't many women on the roster. As a woman, you don't complain; you work twice as hard, and you do your job.
I think they want to keep it separate, but I've never been a crossover artist for some reason.
Again its time to pray for peace.
Be different, stand out, and work your butt off.
Also, any older song, especially any World War II songs remind me of Mama. She goes around the house either whistling or singing all the time. It drives my sister Alice crazy when we're playing games and Mama does that while it's Alice's turn!

For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness.
My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards, selling out concert dates, selling more albums than anyone else. Now, my goals are to see my grandchildren grown, live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.

I might have been born just plain white trash / but Fancy was my name.
Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy.
