5 PEOPLE I’D MOST LIKE TO HAVE DINNER WITH: Michael Buble, because he’s both charming and funny. Taylor Swift, I’d like to find out who she really did and didn’t date. Margeret Thatcher (Iron Lady), she is one of the most courageous and intelligent women. Queen Elizabeth II, except for tea not dinner. Does One Direction count as one? I’m a little obsessed with British accents..
MY FAVORITE CONCERT EXPERIENCE: Keith Urban & Vince Gill guitar soloing with Jimmy Olander from Diamond Rio at All For The Hall concert in Nashville.
