There is so much more to the story of Find Your Groove.
Like the fact that she called me several times, weeks in advance trying to set up this deal. But then her mom got sick....so she had to take some time to help her out. And she was really torn, because as she explained it, "every day that my music isn't out there, is one less day I have to create a buzz." I thought for sure she'd come in and kill it.
Like the fact that she had 10 songs total that she needed to drop vocals on. My twisted alter ego really wanted to hear them all, but I never heard back from her after the first song. I guess I wasn't good enough for her.
Like the fact that when she showed up, her hair was all teased out. She was wearing a hot pink shirt pulled through one of those plastic rings at the hip, turquoise pants, and some odd colored pumps. Bright red lipstick. It was 2007-ish in my world. Not sure about hers.
Like the fact that she handed me a cassette tape of Madonna's - CHERISH and told me THAT'S the sound she was trying to emulate. I was like....not even sure I had something to play it on.
And the cherry on top.
The boyfriend (maybe husband, I can't recall) who came along and sat behind me for the session. Dirty ass baseball cap, missing teeth, classic hillbilly laugh. She kept asking HIM what HE thought while she was "performing". His only response (wisely, I'm sure) was something along the lines of, "I dunno hunny. You're the one who's all artsy and stuff...."
