This morning, I was interviewed on a radio program to promote Abby Road. Cool, right? It was meant to be between 3-5 minutes. I was on the air for 13. A lot of that time we spent talking about one of my favorite subjects. The Bealtes.
I’ve never claimed to be an expert. Lke Abby Road’s Abby, I just love their music. When my lovely interviewer started quizzing me on songs and albums, my mind (naturally!) went blank. While pulling answers and non-facts out of thin air, I made two errors…of which I didn’t realize till after we’d hung up.
Mistake #1: “Hey Jude” was the Beatles’ biggest hit. I said “All You Need is Love.” Sorry, lads!
Mistake #2: “Carry That Weight” is not off the White Album, but off Abbey Road. Sheesh. How could I get that one wrong?
I should’ve turned the table and quizzed him about Gwen Stefani and Taylor Swift. Of course I didn’t think of that until an hour later.
We did agree that “A Day in the Life” is an amazing song, and we both have a soft spot for the rare “Mr. Moonlight.”
All in all, it was a pretty successful interview. I did refer to myself as a liar but I didn’t mention Brad Pitt or cupcakes. *nods to self* That’s an A-plus in my book, people.

Annette Funicello…I’ll miss you
When I was a kid, we got the Disney Channel when it was brand new. It didn’t have any “new” programming yet, so it showed the old stuff. I remember running home from school to watch the B&W Mickey Mouse Club.
Of course Annette was my favorite.
And the classic Disney movies were the BEST. She was so darling in Babes in Toyland and The Shaggy Dog. And don’t get me started on Beach Blanket Bingo. (Wasn’t Frankie such a babe?)
Let’s rock out once more with Annette and Tommy:
And lets not forget…
We’ll miss you, sweet Annette. Say hi to Jimmy from me!

Abby Road on tour
On today’s Abby Road blog tour stop, I am interviewed *as* Abigail Kelly. It was so fun to be famous for a while. Here’s a little sample and the link. Check it out!
“Okay, let’s get right to it. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? My mother showed me “Beauty and the Beast” when I was about five. I fell hard for Gaston. Yeah, I kind of missed the boat on that one! I knew I was going to marry a big strapping hunter and we’d raise ten children. Here I am, twenty years later: woefully single and singing in a band with no real home base. I’m slowly learning that life doesn’t turn out the way you think it will. But I still think Gaston and I would have made a cute couple!”
