Ask Lila - October 25, 2005

From Manfong:  Who was your Pro Bass Angler for a day in the 2nd Annual BASSMasters' Anglers and Artists Tournament ?

A:  My angler's name from the tournament is Brett Hite. He is about 25 years old from Pheonix, AZ. He turned pro when he was 18! Can you believe that!

From Jon:  Have you ever met Jessica Andrews?

A:  I have met Jessica many times. The first time I met her was about 1998. We have hung out on many occasions, she's great!

From Katy:  My question is about your new song "I Can Do This" that your friend and im guessing you also helped write. How do you come up with such great story lines for your songs?

A:  The song, " I Can Do This" was written By Rachel Thibodeau. She is a good friend of mine, but she wrote this all by herself. I think usually you just take stories from your life, or of things going on in the world around you for inspiration. There is so much to draw from to write songs, it's just about finding what inspires you.

From Kris:  I am in the army and currently deployed to Afghanistan. Do you
plan on doing a show over here for the troops?

A:  I have actually tried to set up a USO tour on several occasions, but have had difficulty. I would love to though! I come from a military family and my brother spent the better part of two years over there, so thanks for all your doing!!

From Jared:  What is your favorite album that you have recorded?

A:  I would probably say.. to be fair.. with the 3 that are already out, COMPLETE would be my favorite. I think it's a really fun record!

From Richard:  Are you ever going to put your music videos on DVD?

A:  I am sure at some point we may do a DVD of videos, I think it would be nice to have them all on one disc!

From Chad:  Without offending anyone or being political, can you tell me in your opinion, the top 5 greatest albums of all time?

A:  My top five? Wow, that a tough question.... In No Particular order...
Pasty Cline "Greatest Hits"
"Unforgettable" Natalie Cole
"Silver Lining" Bonnie Raitt
Trisha Yearwood "Trisha Yearwood"
Norah Jones "Feels Like Home"

From Stephanie:  I'm a big fan of Walker, Texas Ranger, and the episode "Eyes of a Ranger" the one that you were on, is one of my favorites.  How old were you when you guest starred in that episode, and what was it like working with Chuck Norris and the other stars?

A:  I was 16 when I taped that episode of Walker, Texas Ranger. It was great working with Chuck Norris, he is one of the nicest people I have ever worked with!

From Joe:  I was just wondering when your new album will be released?

A:  Well Joe, as you all know.. it has changed about a million times, so I would roughly say early next year.

From Mike:  Are your feet ticklish?

A:  My feet are VERY Ticklish!!

From Dani:  What was your favorite song that you ever recorded?

A:  That is such a hard question....I guess, I have sat and looked at computer for about 10 minutes, and tried to pick, but I can't. It's too hard! I am really proud of everything I have done. I am the most thankful for "I Wanna Fall In Love".

From Whitney:  Do you have any tips or anything for a girl who wants to begin a career in music?

A:  If I was trying to begin a career in music the first thing I would do is start writing songs. People get to know a bigger side of you when your singing your own words. Go out and sing where ever you can, and let people in your area get to know your talents, become fans.. then go to the big city to work at it, weather it be Nashville, New York, or Los Angeles. Just believe in yourself!
