A friend of mine told me she is great in concert. She actually co-wrote a lot of the songs, sings the lead (what a voice) and plays lead guitar on a lot of the songs. She took off a lot of time after 1999 to graduate from high school. She had been signed with Arista and Sony but they both wanted to turn her into the next Brittany Spears. She refused to become a pop star and rode out her contracts with those companies. She is starting to tour again in the upcoming months and will have a new album out this year.

This is her! Check this out...

This is her when she was just a kid...

And this is one of my all-time favorite songs of hers, and the title sums up just about everyone in New Orleans these days: "Everyone's got a story that would break your heart"...

Here's another video shot when she was just a kid...it's a pretty decent version of "Angel From Montgomery". (This gal needs to move to New Orleans I think...)

These two are the type of people we should be listening to hit it big instead of the spew that AI and such churn out. Don't get me wrong, every once in a while there is a "pop" sensation that is good but for the most part (ashley simpson) it is (brittany spears) all (justin timberlake) worth (carrie underwood) laughing (ace whatever his name was) at to (all the ones already off the scene) see how (sanjay) bad it is.

Hey Pal, I like Carrie Underwood. Especially her new hit song, Before He Cheats. That song is fun as hell to sing to!

And I think I remember a certain SOMEONE who used to listen to that AI filth with us EVERY WEEK but I'm not naming any names (mightyradgumbo).

So what is your educated guess on how old Shannon is?
