I have sung on stage with Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.
I have lived in 4 states: New York, Pennsylvania, Alabama, and New Jersey. I have never lived anywhere more than 7 and a half years. That was Alabama, in case you were wondering.
I have a latent Southern accent that emerges when I'm tired and/or drinking.
When we moved to Alabama, I was about 6 years old. I was disturbed that I could not understand what anyone around me was saying. I vowed at age 6 to never sound like that. When we moved again (to PA this time) my teachers could not tell where I was from and always expressed surprise when told. I considered this a victory of some sort.
I was also disturbed that I could not breathe outdoors in Alabama. We moved there in July and arrived at our new home after dark. I learned the word "humidity" the next day.
I laugh loudly. Really loudly. The laugh varies in type and intensity, depending on the stimuli, but, when I get going, it surprises people.
My favorite movie is Airplane! You should hear me laugh when I watch it.
I know nothing about music, except for show tunes, about which I know a lot. I do read the music section of Entertainment Weekly, but that's it. I once passed a newstand and noticed a blonde woman and a man on a magazine cover and wondered who they were. Turns out, it was Britney Spears and the guy she was married to for five minutes. I'm not kidding.
