Here's what she has to say about music, and how she was happily able to incorporate it into her book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love music. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have
set up Aunt Susie with her fictional dancehall.
I love music so much that it’s probably my
third favorite thing after my kids and books! And I have a special soft spot
for singer-songwriters like Sheryl Crow and Patti Griffin (if you haven’t heard
her duet with Dierkes Bently, I highly recommend). As you read through ONCE IN
A BLUE MOON, you’ll notice the chapter titles. Some of those are taken from
Betti’s rules but some are actual songs.
Funny enough, I listened to a LOT of Stevie Ray Vaughn while writing
this book! I say funny because, normally, I can’t listen to music with lyrics
when I write. I guess I listened so much that it stopped intruding!
So who’s your favorite go-to, house
cleaning, seat-dancing in the car till you embarrass your children band, singer
or song(s)????
