Saturday 9: (There's) No Gettin' Over Me (1981)
 


1) Ronnie Milsap sings about how worrisome it can be when you realize you forgot to pay a bill. It's happened to all of us, hasn't it? Tell about about a time you accidentally missed a payment.


You know when you have a crappy mailman who delivers the wrong mail to people? This one use to drive around wearing those huge headphones blasting Rush (not the rock group Rush). I am pretty sure that he may also have some of my bills locked up in one of those storage lockers somewhere too. He was so bad that he would get reassigned every year and a half. That was a long year and a half for me...
2) He also references a dream that keeps him awake. Do you have any recurring dreams?

nope. Not these days.


3) He sings about the face you see in the crowd. Tell us about someone you see regularly, but don't really know.


Restaurant regulars. I am really really bad with faces and names.

4) He mentions the book that you just can't put down. What's the last book that you finished?

I'm actually in the middle of an audible book that my son recommended to me. The book makes me grateful to be living here and in the now- until I put the news on TV of course..



5) Ronnie Milsap is a big fan of new technology, and believes the advancements make both his professional and personal lives easier. What about you? Do you embrace new technology? Or do you long for the good old days, when we weren't so connected to personal devices? 

Only the stuff that makes sense and doesn't cost  a lot of money. Some stuff is just dumb.


6) As a child, Ronnie used to surreptitiously listen to late night radio, especially gospel broadcasts. When you were a kid, what rule did you break again and again?

Eating too much candy. 


7) Country star Blake Shelton says Ronnie Milsap was a big influence on his music. Do you watch Blake on The Voice?

Nope. 


8) In May, Ronnie appeared at the Choctaw Casino in Grant, OK. Do you enjoy games of chance?

Nope again.


9) Random question -- When did you last "do it yourself" and repair something around the house or yard?

I'm regrowing the grass that was once a spot for my dog's pool in my yard. I liked that pool but, my injury last summer put an end to that one. Plus, now that my schnauzer is gone the fun is somewhat gone. She loved swimming...


Didn't Kevin's uncle pay for that trip to Paris? I wonder what he supposedly did for a living....
