I also seem to be finally letting my true self experience life. Guess we all reach an age where we don't feel as self conscious as we used to - when we were younger and had so many people to impress, or be role models for.<br /><br />I like your A-Z theme. Very nice, and I can't wait to read some of your posts. I'm not participating, as usual; but I remember when the A-Z got its start. Been that long ago?? Wow. It has sure grown and gotten out of control - as most love children do, lol.<br /><br />I really do love Haley. She has a great voice. And MyLou also sounds really really good. Both songs are inspiring, well done.<br /><br />I'm voting for Haley though; her voice and emotion carry this song, the background band is incidental to her singing. MyLou, however, has an awesome, loud band, and I'm not sure the singer would be able to carry the tune without them.<br /><br />Good luck in April Lee.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-11382531257074741242019-03-18T20:09:40.411-07:002019-03-18T20:09:40.411-07:00Cherdo, nice family story.

Seriously though, I did like both...I'd have the two on a playlist, for sure.<br /><br />My life changing moment was when I met my husband. Not planned, didn't want to marry, if I had stopped by my friend's house two minutes earlier or later, our paths would have never crossed. But I'm one of those gals who thinks that their family is their life, and he is definitely the center of it. And that may be more about my belief in a merciful, benevolent God that in the luck of timing. <br /><br />Thanks!<br />CherdoCherdohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264612202714933480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-18281491627282633942019-03-18T16:00:07.613-07:002019-03-18T16:00:07.613-07:00Can’t wait to follow your A to Z this April.

Maybe The Inner Circle (1991), based on the memoirs of Stalin's film projectionist. It was a huge inspiration when I was getting back to working on my first Russian historical in autumn 1996, and I watched it so many times, back when the History Channel still had Movies in Time. I taped it in spring '97 and proceeded to watch the VHS many times too.<br /><br />I prefer Mylou's version.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-35847767915262862082019-03-18T09:00:42.731-07:002019-03-18T09:00:42.731-07:00Cathy, Maryville is a nice place to live and I mis...Cathy, Maryville is a nice place to live and I miss it.

Before I jump in on today's post, I want...Lee,<br /><br />Before I jump in on today's post, I wanted you to know that you came to mind this weekend while we were in Maryville looking at (drive by only) properties. After viewing two homes on Riverview Drive, we decided to definitely include the Maryville/Alcoa areas in our search. :)<br /><br />Your A2Z theme sounds furtastic and I can't wait to read your posts. I know they'll be pAwesome and I'll get to know you all the better with each daily share. <br /><br />Now to your battle song which is a purrfect choice. My first thought going into this showdown is female vs male vocals and generally I prefer a man's voice to a woman's everytime. Contender #1 I thought was a bit sharp sounding at times which isn't all that uncommon for a woman's voice but the thing I loved about her cover is the simplisty of her delivery - just her and her guitar. #2 opening captured my attention right off the bat with their beautiful instruments playing. Unfortunately, the lead singer has a style that wasn't most appealing to my ears. I call it lazy singing because it sounds like like...well lazy as if the vocalist doesn't have much interest in enunciating the words fully. True he's not as bad as some but this drives me nuts. Please give <b>HALEY KLINKHAMMER</b> my vote!<br /><br /><br />BTW, my <a href="https://curiousasacathy.com/2019/03/2019-april-atozchallenge-theme/" rel="nofollow">Theme Reveal</a> is up and I joined the list this morning. <br />Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-5785233711708776162019-03-18T03:33:40.099-07:002019-03-18T03:33:40.099-07:00Great theme, looking forward to getting to know yo...Great theme, looking forward to getting to know you better - even though we have been A-Z buddies for a couple of years.<br /><br />As for the music challenge, my vote goes to MYLOU's version!<br /><br />https://thethreegerbers.blogspot.com/2019/03/2019-z-blogging-challenge-theme-reveal.htmlTamarahttps://thethreegerbers.blogspot.com/2019/03/2019-z-blogging-challenge-theme-reveal.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
