- I'm bad at leaving...
Thoin: This is what I said: "Cool! You like "I Don't Care" eh? That's a very interesting, odd little tune. And I missed you guys, too!"
Shpadoinkle: Cool! Those are some of my faves, too! Did you know Little Willow is a cowriter on the lyrics of "Watching You?" =)
The Partyman: Glad to help make that Christmas feeling last a bit longer, but just sorry I have to leave so soon. =(
OK, going now...

- Lilyana: Glad to hear you're feeling better!
Y_slaybelle: Actually, all our CD's are available on our very own website, very cheaply. =) We're staying indie for the time being. We rather like it. Just go to www.velvetchain.com and order stuff! (If you want to, of course...)
Shpadoinkle: OK, first of all, LOVE your name! Secondly, yep, a total smartie hottie! lol But really, he was flirting with me the whole game, which was just an odd experience...he didn't seem to like me as much once I WON, though! hehehehe....MWAHhahahaha! *ahem* Please excuse the outbust....
Zeus: Oh, OK....That explains it! hehe

- slayerdaddy: Ah! An interesting question! I actually never really studied voice in any major way. I started singing at about 5 years old (that was my fist solo at school, anyway), and I was in every choir, madrigal group, musical, and a capella doo-wop kinda deal I could find. I listened to a ton of Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and Etta James growing up. And I loved Annie Lennox's voice and David Bowie's, too. I sang all throughout college, and even managed to get into an Opera Master Class with no formal training. (I faked my way through the whole thing...but I knoe two honest-to-goodness arias now!) I finally took 6 months of voice lessons (one 45 minute lesson, once a week) when I moved to Los Angeles, which was very useful in that my teacher was finally able to really show me how to support my voice so that I didn't lose it - which I used to do sometimes back then. Since then, it's all been experience - both onstage and in the studio. I learn something new about my voice and how to use it every day. I really sing by instinct. (Enough info for ya? Bet you're sorry you asked! hehehe)
Adri: You're very welcome...thanks for having me! =)
Mally B: Sounds like fun!
Aurora: Why, thank you! *blush*

- Hey, ZEUS! How ya doin'?? Love your "from love to brooding" thing. ;-) And what's this about Trance having horns?? I just saw the episode with her and the Cigarette Smoking Man from X-Files, and I didn't notice no stinkin' horns!!??
AussieBullDog: No worries about not haing a question! It's lovely to talk to you...is it Saturday there?
willowjadia: Hello! I hope so! We're really going to try and tour again.
Hi back to KatBeck...
Thoin: Cool! You like "I Don't Care" eh? That's a very interesting, odd little tune. And I missed you guys, too!

- Y_slaybelle: Oh, wow...that would be so cool! But alas, no. We're still trying to get another US tour off the ground! =)
Mally B: Happy New Year to you, too! Mine was quite nice. I was singing. (A non-Velvet Chain side gig I did for the Holidays.) How was yours?
slayerdaddy: Well, you just rock! =) As for the PBP, I would love to attend, but haven't heard anything from anyone yet. If I get invited, I'll go, though! ;-)
Lilyana: Sorry to hear you got sympathy-laryngitis! I was out of it for a while. Then I sang on swollen shords for over amonth, which was not the best thing. So, my voice is just now starting to come back. (My last gig was New Year's Eve...) I should be all better in a few more days. How are you?

- Good evening, guys... I just wanted to stop by and say hi. I've been so busy, and then our computer was down for almost a MONTH (which was a nightmare), so I haven't been around much lately. How's everybody doing?
