Laura dazzles us with her Fanilow knowledge, not to mention her pitch perfect skillz in our Stupid Game... we talk a bit about our friendship of decades upon decades... and we talk a lot about music - namely her music! She shares some samples and stories behind some of the tracks of her latest musical project "Expressions"... and we have a great discussion about going out on a limb to "sing your own special song" which of course is music to our Misfit ears. Mostly, this is a conversation that will encourage anyone who's wondering "is what I have to offer worth sharing with the world?" (SPOILER ALERT: The answer is YES!
