I won't be Ian. Thanks for the welcome and the memories. I kinda knew something was going on at the last gig at Pontin's. I was going to give the background singers and musicians a little break and come in eight bars later, let them coast a little bit on "I Can't Change" but the audience knew exactly when to come in and was on their way to singing the second verse --- without me! We started the song again (I came in) and it was wonderful.

Russ,
The work and the hopes that were put into that song to be submitted for a James Bond movie, OMG! It was like a fantasy to me. I was very sad when we were not chosen, but hey, look at us now!
Lorraine
Thanks Tony. It's all the truth, right? No made up stuff, right? Total honesty, right? I'll check it out! Yeah, while you all are sleeping, I catch up on the replies.
Lorraine
I truly didn't think anyone cared. Folks pay their money to be entertained and we are suppose to do that, entertain. Not being malicious, I'm just a singer and I wear/wore many hats in the music industry. I love this business, but who cares? Thanks for the welcome Kev.
Lorraine
OK, I didn't see your name, but the word 'ooze' brought me back to reality. Kidding aside, thanks for the kind words and it's an honor for me to be here.
Lorraine
Roger,
I will have to buy a record from you. I don't have any of my records! Relatives and other folks 'borrowed' them back in the day. I glad you enjoyed my work.
Lorraine
Just as I finish wiping the tears, here you come with this. Jeez, I don't know how much more I can take. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Some of my greatest memories are being with you all.
Lorraine
Hi Steve,
Yes, I'm having a ball here. I see that you played Jackie Wilson. Like most artist, there is something that you like about other artist. I said, "if I could riff like Jackie Wilson, WOW!" But that is what made him great to me.
Lorraine
Dave,
You know I'm crying while typing, excuse me inputing. This would blow Eddie's mind. I sent Eddie an e-mail (regarding you) when you were here. He has to find his grandson to retrieve it! I know what this is doing to me, I don't want to kill the man. Just spoke to him to tell him off for not answering me, but I'll tell him. Don't blame me if he doesn't respond!
Lorraine
Hey BAZ A,
It's hard for me to remember last week! But I do remember the gig. I remember it because it was small club but the people were in to us. Sorry I don't remember you personally, but I'm glad we are getting re-aquainted.
Folks will have to give a shout out to Dave Thorley, he was one of the promoters at that time and responsible for the Stafford gig.
Lorraine
OK Mike, I'm sure they will correct me as I go along. I had no idea I would get this tearful. Trying to answer everyone. Move me if you must. Just have your way with me!
