Saturday 9

Unfamiliar with this week's song? You can hear it here.



1) Sam's teacher told her she'd use math every day. What's the last math problem you solved? (Did you add to/subtract from the balance of your checkbook ... use division to figure out how much you'd save with 25% off that sweater ...)

I run a business from home where I use math daily to figure what is being made what is being spent etc... 

2) The lyrics tell us that if you take away the rain from a flower, the flower just won't grow. Do you have any indoor houseplants? Could they use a drink of water this morning?

I do not seem to grow plants well so I gave up years ago

3) This week's artists, The Grass Roots, are introduced in this video by country music superstar Kenny Rogers. Who is your favorite country music singer? 

Just like Kenny was my mothers favorite country singer another Kenny is mine. My favorite is Kenny Chesney

4) The two unmarried members of the group -- guitarist Warren Entner and drummer Ricky Coonce -- competed for a lady's affection on a 1968 episode of The Dating Game. Neither of them won! She chose Bachelor #1. Anyway, have you ever appeared on a game show? Do you know anyone who has?

Can not say that I have or do

5) The Grass Roots were originally called The 13th Floor. They chose this cheeky name because many high rises do not have a 13th floor since 13 is considered an unlucky number, and they were thumbing their noses at superstition. Are you superstitious? 

About many things yes.... my in laws were raised in the hills and were very superstitious 
 
6) At the time of his death in 2011, group leader Rob Grill was still playing music, touring with a reconfigured Grass Roots. His widow Nancy referred to him as "one lucky son of a gun" because he'd been able to support himself as a musician, doing what he loved for 45 years. In what ways do you consider yourself fortunate?


I feel blessed being married for 30+ years, having children and grand-children as well. 

7) In 1971, the year this song was released, Walt Disney World opened in Florida. The Epcot Center was added in 1982. Have you ever visited this, or any, Disney theme park?

No I have not maybe one day though


8) Fresh chicken was just 43¢/lb. in 1971. Do you prefer the breast or drumstick?

I like both depending how hungry I am but often will select the breast
9) Random question: Do you work well under pressure?


I have been known to do my best while under pressure
