Play Date with the Band

On the day of the Christmas Benefit, Joel said something to me that I have pondered quite a bit. I had never thought of this before and I thought it was the coolest idea.

He said he wondered what it would be like if all of his friends TODAY at this point in his life could hang out when we were little kids. For instance, what would the band talk about and do if Miguel, Joel, Panther, James and I all got together for a play date at 5 years old or 10 years old. None of us knew each other back then, but how fun would it be to hear our conversations at THAT point in life? :)

Just a fun thought.

I am lucky enough to still have VERY close friends from that period in my life. Especially my friend, Sarah, whom I met on the FIRST day at the Opryland Kid's Club. We have been close friends ever since. And we used to talk about our hopes and dreams back then, and still do to this day. So cool :) It's truly amazing to have a best friend who is also a performer, singer, songwriter, and is unconditionally supportive. Even though we have been up for the same part numerous times with only one of us getting the job. Never been an ounce of animosity or jealousy.

Even so, it would be fun to know what little James and little Natalie would have talked about as children. :)

Peace. Love. Fiddle.
