1) Is red a color you often wear? I used to wear it quite a bit, but not so much these days.
2) In this song, Chris De Burgh is thrilled to be dancing with the woman he loves. Do you recall what was playing the last time you stepped onto the dance floor? Unless you count the daily "get up and move" times with the clients at work, I don't even remember when I last danced "for real."
3) Chris says he wrote this song about the first time he saw his future wife, who wore a red dress when she came to see his band perform. Tell us about a memorable concert going experience. That would be when I had VIP tickets to see Toby Keith. Our seats were the middle of the front row and the stage was about 6 inches from my face when I stood up so Toby was right there. Those tickets also came with the chance to meet Toby and get your photo taken with him.
4) Chris' father worked as a diplomat for the United Kingdom. Former US ambassador Robert D. Blackwill believes a diplomat should possess strong writing/speaking skills, meticulous attention to detail, historical knowledge, and stamina. Do you have any of those attributes? I'd say writing for sure, some historical knowledge, but speaking and attention to detail...not so much.
5) Chris' family owns Bargy Castle, a 15th century fortress in County Wexford, Ireland. Bargy Castle has been converted into a hotel. What's the last hotel you stayed in? I don't remember. If a stay is more than a day or two we usually rent a house.
6) Chris is a wine connoisseur who sold a collection of vintage reds for over $500,000. If you suddenly came into $500,000, what would you do with it? Pay off bills, get any work done on the house that needs done, and put the rest away for retirement.
7) In 1986, when this song was popular, singer/actress Lady Gaga was born in Manhattan. Have you been to New York City? No
8) Also in 1986, NHL Hall of Famer Jacques Plante died. Are you a hockey fan? No, but my mom is a HUGE one.
9) Random question – You just slid behind the wheel and are about to embark on a long road trip. Which of these famous Williams would you choose as your navigator: Willie Nelson, Bill Murray, or William, Prince of Wales? Probably Bill Murray. Willie's rather old and I think I've heard not in the best health these days and I couldn't care less about the royals.
Your concert experience sounds absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to be front and center at a concert and actually meet the singer! What fun that must've been!! Love the picture. You are smart about what to do with the $500,000. I thought I would just get a whole new house like I want and where I want, but nowadays that would probably take all that money, so your idea is probably much more sensible.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is a big hockey fan. I think he's watching it right now instead of football, which I find strange. LOL. Hope you have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving!
VIP tickets! That's very cool.
ReplyDeleteI love your concert experience! Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

I def. would buy a new house, not using all the $500,000, smiles. Wishing you a beautiful rest of the Saturday my friend.
