Keith, I'm loving the fall here in Tennessee. It is so beautiful! God has done wonders in this country, for sure!

We were living in the San Juaquin Valley of California when Melissa was born. I really missed the four seasons while living there. Also, it was hard for me to adjust to the color reversal. It seems that Winter there was green and summer was brown. In Tennessee, the Summers are green and the Winters brown.

Well, he may have wished he could talk like a man! Hilarious.

You grew up in Chicago?

I am a natural tenor. My normal speaking voice is naturally higher, however, I always tried to talk lower. In the beginning of Acappella, I handled the bookings and thought that talking lower would make me sound a little more authoritative. I would sing high but try to talk low.

Yes, my long journey through first grade was in Chicago, before becoming a full-fledge Tennessean. (Since I lived in Paris, some called me a Parisite.)

I love Fankie Valli and The Four Seasons!! They put out some good tunes. Maybe the song should have been "Talk like a woman, walk like a woman"!! ;) Anyway...back to the real four seasons, I TOO love the changing seasons. Growing up in IL I was able to experience 4 seasons my whole life. I moved to Florida in 2000 and lived there for 2 years. I was amazed at how there were no changing seasons and how much I missed it. It was kinda boring (no offense to the Floridians who may be reading this) with no changing seasons. People would drive up to Tennessee to see the fall foliage. It was sad to me that Floridians aren't able to experience this except by driving hundreds of miles, and we have it at our fingertips. I had to move away because something about Christmas lights on Palm Trees is just WRONG!! Ha!

Now wait a minute. I'm orignally from North Florida and we do get some color changes in the trees. Not much, but some. Maybe it is because of all the pine trees. You can't spit and not hit a pine tree in north florida. I guess it's the same way with orange groves and palm trees in the southern part of the state. But yes, christmas lights on a palm tree is worng!
