Here are quotes that I couldn't fit into my new music feature, "Amanda Shaw, Pretty girl: But she's selling her music, not her looks." Click the link for the story, info on the 18-year-old, New Orleans-based, Cajun-pop luminary's Friday (Aug. 8) gig at Skipper's Smokehouse and to hear samples from Shaw's latest album, Pretty Runs Out (Rounder).
Me: How's it going today? Are you at home in New Orleans?
Shaw: Yep, I’m at home, getting ready for the trip. I'm so excited to come back to Florida.
Me: So, what's a typcial day off at home like?
Shaw: I love music so much I'm always listening at the house or making plans to go and hear band. If I hang out at house I listen, sit around and watch movies and read books.
Me: What have you been watching lately?
I love Walk the Line. The first two seasons of The Office, Seinfeld and I Love Lucy. My mom teases me that I am Lucy because I'm always doing goofy things like her.
