Woman Transcending

Part III

Annie Haslam Artist's Collection

PCM: Do you still practice your voice?

Annie: I never did. We practiced as a band before a show or tour. I didn’t have the patience to practice. I'm singing at the Sellersville Theater on January 26th. It's a show called Wine, Woman & Song.  I will be performing with guitarist Bob Miles. I will only sing three songs and it will feature some of my art work. It will be fun. What I will do is put on some cd's a couple of days before the show and sing along to get my breathing back because I haven't sung for a while now.

PCM: Can I ask some really dumb questions that only a fan can ask?

Annie: Go on.

PCM: You recently sold your tambourine on ebay, why?

Annie: I didn’t want it in my house anymore. I don’t need it anymore. I’ve a pair of maracas I might be selling too. The ones I used in Prologue.

PCM: What did you think of the Michael Dunford's cd The Other Woman? Did  you know it wouldn't work?

Annie: I thought the title would doom it. It was that and it said Renaissance.  People were expecting to hear me and were disappointed when they didn't . Many people complained to me about that.

Did you think it was bad?

PCM: Yes, the title was bad. I would have listened to it differently if it was called Dunford-Adlington or something.

Do you still have the Annie necklace?

Annie: Yes, I have two now. I had one made for my mum whose name was also Annie. When she passed away I inherited it. They're rather big and bulky but I guess that's what the rappers wear now. Look at that, I started a trend.

PCM: That should be your new line of jewelry, "Annie Bling" 

(Annie laughs at that. It is the great five octave laugh that all Renaissance fans are familiar with.)
