Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Anne Murray sings that she thinks she's going to have a son. Is anyone in your life expecting a baby?
A. Not to my knowledge.
2) Back in the 1970s, when this song was popular, parents had to wait until their baby was born to know the gender. Today moms and dads can learn within the first few months whether they're expecting a son or daughter. Do you prefer it this way? Or would you rather not know in advance if you are welcoming a boy or girl into your family?
A. I never had children and am too old to have children, so I don't really have an opinion on this. I think people should do what they want. If they want to know, let them know. If they don't, that's fine too.
3) Anne is so popular in her native Canada that her face graced commemorative postage stamps. What's the last piece of mail you affixed a stamp to and mailed?
A. I sent out a letter to a pen pal.
4) She began taking voice lessons at 15. She was so serious about it she took a 50-minute bus ride each way to her classes. What extracurricular activities captured your attention when you were in high school?
A. I was in the marching band, and I played guitar in a rock and roll (more like a disco) band.
5) She studied physical education at the University of New Brunswick and upon graduation taught PE for a year. Did you enjoy gym class?
A. I hated gym class. I would get out of it every chance I got. Gym class occasionally kept me off of the A honor roll, and knocked me down to the A-B Honor Roll, because I hated it so much.
6) Every spring and summer, Anne's fans travel to Nova Scotia and The Anne Murray Centre. There they can see exhibits and memorabilia from her long career, including her Grammy Awards and gold records. If we were to display memorabilia reflecting the highlights of your life, what items should we include?
A. Copies of publications I've been printed in, photos I've taken, my wedding band, my college diplomas, and my guitar.
7) In 1972, the year this record was popular, Popeyes opened their first chicken restaurant. Today there are more than 3700 locations in 30 countries. Is chicken on the menu at your house this week?
A. Chicken is always on the menu at my house.
8) Also in 1972, latch hook rug kits were all the rage. With pre-cut yarn, a latch hook, and a printed pattern, "hookers" could make wall hangings, pillow covers, and throw rugs. Are you into arts and crafts?
A. I take a stab at it every now and then, but I am never very good at it.
9) Random question: If you were offered the position of mayor of your town, would you take it?
A. Probably not today. Too many crazy people out there now. I might have said yes prior to 2016, but I would not want the job now.

Your #5 is what I should have written! Exactly the same situation for me!
ReplyDeleteI hated gym class too! I've never been well coordinated and was the last person chosen when they let the teams choose their players. I also hated having to take a shower with 30 or so other naked girls. I doubt anyone had ever seen me naked except my parents and sister, until we all had to gather in a communal shower every day. And you could get out of showering if it was "that time of month", but of course then everybody knew that, too.
ReplyDelete#3 - Oooo...me?
ReplyDeleteYes, the crazy people out there is a bit scary for me. So sad. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend. ♥

I use to have a pen pal in Italy. We wrote for years and then she stopped. I use to send letters to my hubby when we were dating. I bet you would have been good as a mayor!
ReplyDeleteFirst time playing. I forgot about disco.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe.
Your answer to the last question, yeah, there are crazies out there
