from Kim J in Reynoldsburg, Ohio
Hi Lori,
First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to do this q&a. It means alot to all of us !! I was wondering after all the years of touring and recording, you must have a million stories and experiences. Out of all those precious memories, what is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you or Stevie ? Thanks again !!

Lori's answer:

Hi Kim! One funny moment I can remember (actually there were several on this project) was when we were doing a video for “Stand Back” which never was released. It was at the end of a long day of shooting, and we were very tired. We were doing a scene where people were ballroom dancing. For some reason there was no music playing, so when the director said “action!” everyone started dancing, only they were all dancing to a different drummer, so heads were bobbing up and down unevenly. They looked like little wind-up dolls gone crazy, and to us, it was the funniest thing we’d ever seen. We were laughing so hard we started to cry and our make-up started running. Unfortunately, the director and make-up artist were not as amused as we!

Was there ballroom dancing in the Civil War version? Did I miss it? Or was there a 3rd version for Stand Back?

Now Amber, I don't think we can count Lori & Sharon tossing their heads back & yelling "Stand Back!" at the ruffian who walked into the saloon as ballroom dancing, now can we?

wasn't stevie dancing with a guy before that? Member when they were all sitting down at a dance, then guy comes up and gets Stevie? shoot, don't make me watch it!

I'm almost positive there's a scene where Stevie is dancing with a soldier. Maybe that's what she's talking about...maybe there was a lot more unused footage? Oh well, that would be my guess.

from Rachel in Madison, WI
When you were a teen which bands did you idolize or influenced you??

Lori's answer:

Hi Rachel. Wow! That was a long time ago, but some of my favorites were Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Harry Nilsson, The Bee Gees, Cream, Buffalo Springfield, the Supremes, Simon & Garfunkel, The Youngbloods, The Mamas & The Papas, Janis Ian, Stevie Wonder. There were so many great groups in the 60’s... the list goes on!!

from Aaron in Akron, Ohio
Lori,
Do you ever find yourself singing the lead parts to a song?

Lori's answer:

Hi Aaron! I do sing leads to songs, but I always end up breaking into a harmony... I love the “feel” of harmonies.
