More answers from Lori on Nicksfix. The first 3 are new for sure, I don't remember reading the other 4, maybe I missed them?

from Carly Pryor in LaGrange, GA
Hey Lori! I was fortunate enough to meet you in Phoenix at the AHI benefit in 2001. You were so friendly and sincere. I was wondering what you like to do outside of the music scene. I loved Arizona when I visited, it seemed so inspiring. Favorite TV show? Painting? Thanks! Love ya!

Lori's answer:

Hey Carly! Thank you for your kind words. When I’m not working on music, I’m taking care of my teenager. But if I have down time, I like to read, I LOVE watching old movies, and I like to hand-tint black and white photos. I like all kinds of TV shows.. but mostly sitcoms... right now, “Hope and Faith” (I love Kelly Rippa!) is a favorite... biographies of movie stars, especially the old Hollywood stars are so interesting and fun, too.

from John in Waterford
Hey Lori, Ive been a fan for years. My question is, in the early years of Stevie's solo career was there a back up singer who sang with you that sounded a lot like Stevie? The reason being I have a long running bet with my sister. She says that in the the song Edge of Seventeen the chorus part "sings a song sounds like she's singing" was not sung by Stevie but by a back up singer who sounded like her. Is that you or is my sister simply wrong. Sorry for the long question hope you can answer it.
Thanks, John

Lori's answer:

Hey John! Well, you just won your bet! On the record Bella Donna, Sharon and I were the only back-up singers. On “Edge of Seventeen” Stevie, Sharon and I sang on the chorus together, right from the beginning of the song.

from Dawn Bruner in Wichita
Hi Lori,
My question...what's the best thing about being Stevie Nicks' back up singer AND sister-in-law?

Lori's answer:

Hi Dawn! Well, let’s see..... Since we live together, I guess the best thing is that I get first pick on the background parts!!!! LOL (Just kidding, Sharona!) Seriously, one of the great things is that even though I don’t tour anymore, I still get to go out on the road to hang with Stevie and see the shows from time to time. And when my daughter’s not in school, she gets to go with me and experience life on the road as well.

from Eddie in Fayetteville
Hi Lori,
Whats it like to live day to day around Stevie? She is so inspiring and her songs and words give me alot of comfort and help me deal with my fathers terminal illness. Does her music still continue to inspire you as well?

Lori's answer:

Hi Eddie! It’s wonderful to know that Stevie’s music is helping you through a difficult time. I hope that he will go in peace. It’s always inspiring to Stevie that her music affects people so deeply. Her music always has, and continues to inspire me, as well.... I can still be brought to tears by her words and incredible voice.

from Nathan Ballew in Spartanburg, SC
Dear Lori,
Do you like being Stevie's sisterinlaw and is she different on the road than she is around you and Chris? What makes Stevie a great sisterinlaw? Thank you for answering these questions.
Love,
Nathan

Lori's answer:

Dear Nathan... Stevie is the same person... on the road and at home. She’s a great sister-in-law because we were friends first, then became family by marriage... nothing ever changed. If anything, our relationship has become stronger over the years, and she is supportive and helpful in raising our daughter.

I was 9 yrs old then...I still listen to Stevie every single day. Anyway it is so wonderful to see you all make such beautiful music and memories for me. I will cherish these for the rest of my days..happy holidays to your family.

Lori's answer:

Dear Nikki! Thank you so much! We really enjoy making the music... I’m glad your memories are good ones! A very Happy New Year to you and yours!

Pleasantly surprised someone asked about an unreleased song & that she answered.
