The first artist to agree to a Simply Six interview was Shannon McNally. I have to admit it gave me a very happy feeling that she was my first interview as I have been a big fan of her for years. There are some artists that you feel a special kinship with and Shannon is one of them for me. From her live shows to her recorded music she moves me in a way few other artists do. Since this month we are featuring her as our Artist of the Month and probably few of you reading this site today have read her interview we are going to re post it.
1. For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer. For many it was the appearance of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later. Is there such a defining moment for you?
I SAW TOM PETTY FULL MOON FEVER TOUR AT NASSAU COLISEAM ON LONG ISLAND WHEN I WAS 15. IT WAS THE MOMENT THEY WENT INTO 'DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE' I THOUGHT I WANT TO BE THAT GUY RIGHT THERE.
2. When you’re not creating music what are you listening to? Who are some of your favorites?
DR. JOHN AND WAYLON JENNINGS
3. What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live?
THE OTHER NIGHT PLAYING GUITAR WITH KENNY BROWN IN COMO MISSISSIPPI.
4. Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to? How much can music influence current events?
IT CHANGES THE WORLD REGULARLY. IT INFLUENCES EVERYTHING THROUGH EMOTION. IT'S AS POWERFUL AS WATER.
5. How has technology affected the music industry?
IT'S WATERED DOWN THE IMPORTANCE OF TALENT.
How has technology affected your career as a musician?
IT'S MADE IT HARDER FOR PEOPLE TO FIND ME BECAUSE I DON'T USE A LOT OF IT AND FOLKS ARE SO USED TO IT MANY PEOPLE DON'T RECOGINIZE MUSIC WITHOUT IT.
6. Now for my Barbara Walters question: If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be?
KNEE HIGH MOCCASINS.
