Could've Been

Welcome to Saturday 9. Hosted by Samantha! Here is today's meme! Saturday 9: Could've Been (1987)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This wistful song is about a love affair that ended. What song reminds you of a long-ago love?

Reminiscing, by The Little River Band

2) It was written by Lois Blaisch, a singer-songwriter who performs at clubs around Los Angeles and has sung outdoors at Disneyland. Would you prefer to attend a concert indoors, or outside under the stars?  Absolutely, indoors.. The last concert we attended was at Wolftrap in Vienna, Virginia,  in the summer  to see Chris Botti and friends. It was so hot, we  thought we'd die!  It was a sheltered  stadium, but absolutely no breeze whatever.. the only saving grace was a big thunderstom  came up and  only then did we get  any  air to breathe!  That gulp of air saw us through the rest of the concert,  but oh,  the concert itself was marvelous!

3) This week's featured artist, Tiffany, appeared on the TV talent show Star Search when she was just 14. She came in second. Though she was disappointed, she admits she learned from it. She studied the singer who won and says it made her a better performer. Can you recall a time when you weathered a tough time and came through stronger?  Some of my tough  early years of teaching  taught me  so much that  you could never  learn in a class or a textbook...  I know I came of that season  stronger and a better teacher!

4) Early in her career, she toured Alaska, opening for country legend George Jones. Have you ever visited our 49th state? (That's a correction; I made a mistake when I originally posted.)
No.. not on my bucket list, either

5) Tiffany provided the voice of Judy Jetson in 1990's Jetsons: The Movie. Which cartoon did you enjoy more: the space-age Jetsons or the pre-historic Flintstones?
I was 12 when the Jetsons first aired on tv.  I was  old enough to really  enjoy  them,  as I wondered what life would be like  when I was old living in the  space age.. Ha ..  very little has changed..  big disappointment! Just  society's ills  have gotten worse,  ...  where are those  cars that fly!!!

6) In 2007, she appeared on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club and lost 28 lbs. Are you making an effort to stay fit during this stay-at-home period?

Yes,  I've lost 1 pound  better than gaining 5!

7) In 1987, when this song was popular, Aretha Franklin became the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What's your favorite Aretha song?
Not a fan.  I just didnt' like her voice... too screechy.

8) Also in 1987, third-generation race car driver Marco Andretti was born. Are you a race fan?

Yes!


The only formula 1 race we ever attended was while we were in Germany at Hockenheim.


9) Random question: Do you find it easy to sit still, or are you fidgety?

I take those both  in spells..  Today I'm fidgety!
