It was a challenge for me because I didn't know if I had enough material to work with. But it ended up being s

I don't know how I could possibly select one song from my childhood because there were so many songs that I sang. So instead of selecting one, I will choose the handful that truly stand out and make me remember my adolescence. Lifescapes Album by Kristy Lee I don't know if Kristy Lee Cook is country pop or simply pop, but whatever genre it was did not deter me from this entire album. I couldn't choose ONE song because for some reason, I played this album repeatedly. The first
