Saturday 9...

 

One Night Standards

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants' posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!


Saturday 9: One Night Standards (2019)

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

1) The video for this song takes place in a motel and the story is told from the point of view of the desk clerk. Have you ever worked in a hotel, motel, or bed-and-breakfast?  Two summers when I was in high school, I cleaned rooms at a truck-stop motel.

2) Ashley McBryde sings that she's not Cinderella, a reference to the fairy-tale heroine warned to return from the ball before midnight. When did you recently stay up until the wee small hours of the morning?  It's been a very long time!

3) Ashley had been working hard as a singer/songwriter for eleven years before she was discovered and proclaimed one of Country's best new artists. What was your life like 11 years ago?  I was still working, and living here in Lakeland with my hubby.  We had FIVE cats living with us then (three now).

4) Ashley is from Mammoth Springs, AR. One of the most popular stops on Main Street -- for locals and tourists alike -- is Spring Dipper Ice Cream. More than 20 flavors are made right there on the premises, from Jamoca Almond Fudge to French Vanilla. When confronted with such a wide selection, do you tend to order your familiar favorite or try something new?  I am a chocolate ice cream girl but also like butter pecan and if the chocolate has toffee in it, all the better.

5) In 2007, she moved to Nashville to pursue a music career. Have you ever relocated for a job?  No. For my first husband's job, yes, but never for my job.

6) Whenever Ashley hears a Carpenter's song, she thinks of her mother, who loved Karen Carpenter's voice. Tell us a song that reminds you of a loved one.  When I was little, my mom would sing with the radio while working in the kitchen and I remember her singing along to  Blueberry Hill and also this one...

7) In 2019, the year this song was recorded, Notre Dame Cathedral was damaged in a fire. Have you ever visited Paris?  No.  France has never been on my list of places to go.

8) Also in 2019, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex (aka Harry and Meghan) had a baby boy. Is anyone in your life expecting a baby?  Not that I'm aware of.

9) Random question: Do you always want to hear the truth about yourself?  Yes, even when it hurts. Please don't play games with me.

Peace & Hugs!  God bless!!
