Q:
Dear Louise, I was wondering if you would ever consider writing your life story? Sherri
• Sherri, what a sweet question. There is an old joke, no because I haven't finished it yet! The truth is my life is such an open book that there are no secrets left to print.
Q:
I am looking forward to the Christmas show this year. Are there any plans to make a
Christmas cd? -Janeen V.
• Janeen, I love Christmas music and I'm so glad your planning on coming to the Christmas show, but I'm not planning a Christmas CD this year.
Q:
Could you please tell me if there is any chance you are going to add the Christmas Song Evening In December to the Christmas Show 2010? I was also wondering if you were going to keep the song Happy Birthday Jesus in your show! Valerie M.
• Valerie, I can't believe you remember 'Evening In December'. The last time I did it was before 2000. Your question brought back a lot of memories. Lou the mailman had a great time singing Happy Birthday Jesus. I had planned to change it but I am getting a lot of requests for it.
Q:
I was just thinking that with your busy schedule you must find some
down time. What is it that you like to do in your free time? Grace
• Grace, Whatever is going on I find things to do I love. Today I took my computer to the doctors office and wrote my speech for the boy scouts. Tomorrow it's going to be sunny so I'm going to get out with my snow boots and be a kid again.
Q:
Would you ever consider doing a reality show or variety show again? Cheryl S
• Cheryl, you made me feel special but I'm sure you would be the only one to watch. A reality show is usually full of controversy and drama. Because of my husbands illness our lives are full of medical challenges and finding words of encouragement for each other.
Q:
I have been a fan of yours ever since I first heard you with the your sisters on your show.I respect your talent and equally respect your professional opinion and input. Do you have any advice for someone wanting to pursue a career in music? Mike M.
• Mike, don't let anything or anyone steal your dreams. Sing anywhere someone will listen. I was really lucky my Mom and Dad met performing in church and music remained a large part of everything we did. I was in grade school when I started in church and my first paying job was for my sister Barbara.
Q:
What is your single proudest moment, either personally or professionally, and as you
reflect does it still give you that same satisfaction even today? Carol H
• Carol, most definitely my single proudest moment was becoming a Mom. Every month like clock work I would discover I was not pregnant and I couldn't stop crying. Then God gave me what the Doctors couldn't. My precious Nicole was fifteen months when I became her mommy.
Q:
Can you give any info on the Irby Mandrell Shoot? - Gary & Darrell
• yes I can and I am so happy Gary and Darrell asked. I'm GOING TO BEAT MY SISTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can also get more information through
Irlenemandrellshoot.com.
Q:
I am wondering what career/profession would you be interested in doing if you were not an
entertainer? -Leslie W
• Leslie, I have been a waitress and worked in a jewelry store. I could be happy doing anything as long as I work with the public.
Q:
How long have you and John been married and how is his health? - Donna S
First I want to say I pray for you and John daily and How is John doing health wise? - Todd R
Recently, I noticed the Morgellon's Research Foundation has your name listed as a board member. Can you inform me of the extent of your involvement?-jeralyn w
•Donna, Todd and Jeralyn, I told my husband John that you asked about him. John and I have been married for sixteen years - he has been sick for ten of them. We are in Colorado meeting with a doctor today. John has Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a serious immune deficiency, Trigeminal Neuralgia and Morgellons. I serve on the board of Morgellons because it is a disgusting disease that does not get enough attention. I also want to thank Janice Cox for sending a donation in my name to the Morgellons foundation. It was a sweet surprise and a thoughtful gift of love. I miss everyone. Thanks for your support and prayers.
