 As you know, the business is cyclic with styles. It's no different from clothing styles. |
| I've been lucky. I've had this history of having an appeal to more than one type of audience. |
| I'm not a toy boy, bellybutton band, so I don't have to worry about that. Actually, I never did. |
| I've always enjoyed playing live onstage. |
| It would be nice to garner new fans and make it a success - and success is relevant, we already know all that. |
| And I think that we're more of an alternative act in that sense, and that flavor comes across to the audience. |
| Songs like the Buck Owens tune, for example, are very simple and straightforward, and recording it really gave me a chance to get into and get a sense of Buck's personality, a feel for that whole Bakersfield sound. |
| Our show doesn't rely on the typical whistles and bells, and smoke and mirrors. It relies mostly on the music. |
| I never stopped working, but I did let my contract run out. And I didn't really actively pursue it. |
| This genre of music seems to want to push people into a certain time slot, which is unfortunate. |
| In between that time, I've done book narrating, you know, books on tape for Dove Audio. |
| But these days, I get a lot more attention and airplay from the Adult Contemporary and country radio stations, and I feel comfortable saying I'm a part of that. |
| The very fact that I've had those established me to continue on to do new music and new projects. |
| I'll do a cappella stuff, rock 'n' roll and swing stuff. |
| And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy. |
| When the audience leaves, I'd like them to feel positive when they go. |
| I like the big ups. I'm into the big ups. |
| My biggest successes were mainly in the pop market during the 80s. |
| There's also, I think more so in the music business and especially for women, this ceiling that people put on you if you have children or a family and decide to spend time with them. |
| I'm really fortunate that I've had some mega hits. |
