SHERRIE AUSTIN....ONE OF MY FAVOURITE COUNTRY SINGERS

If we were to meet your boyfriend or a member of your family and ask what they think are your most annoying and disgusting habits, what would they say??

SaintMike wrote:A question from me first please Sherrie.

Until reading your Wikipedia page now, I had not realised that you were once an actress. Why did you stop acting? Which was your bigger love, acting or music?

I love both, but doing both takes a lot of energy and writing is my first love........I do however love theatre just because it's live and I really enjoy experiencing the
energy of an audience.

Saint-Paddy wrote:Hey, it looks like Mike has a crush on you Sherrie !!!

Did you like the song Mike said was his favourite, it wasn't strong enough to be a single?

Wow I wrote that like over 10 years ago.......I'm glad Mike likes it! Very flattered by the crush as well, haha!

SaintRobbie wrote:Hi Sherrie, thanks for coming.

Have you ever travelled to the United Kingdom and done any concerts here?

I have been to the UK a few times, I LOVE it, can't wait to go back, have yet to do any big concerts there.........

OK., We know Love Melts etc etc. is Mike's favourite song of yours, but which songs are your own favourites?

Hmmm, on my new cd "Circus Girl", probably "Friday Night Girls" because that was such a writing challenge for me........
I wanted to write the song version of a novel and I also wrote it by myself which is a little tougher because it hard to judge you're own work.

SaintMike wrote:Sherrie, I should like to add the Colorhaus CD to my collection, is it still available for sale? What type of material did you do on it?

Are you featured on any DVDs??

I'm if it's still available, that was a long time ago and miles away from the music I do now........I'm sure you can find just about anything these days though if you look hard enough.

Did you have to undergo formal vocal training or did it come naturally? Can you say which singers have been the greatest influence to you?

I took vocal lessons when I was in my teens, even natural talent can use some training..........

Jillyanne wrote:And I must say you look so sexy and slim, does it come naturally or is there a secret to it?

Thankyou! There's no secret, i just never liked eating the foods that are bad for you, I'm lucky in the sense that I love my veggies and don't really like sweets that much........more a hot, spicy kinda' girl.

half pint wrote:Hi Sherrie! Thanks for coming on here. I see you were born Krenn, did you just pluck Austin from the air or is there any special significance to the name?

It's a mixture of Australia where my Mum is from and I was born and Austria which is where my Father is from. All the family names were terrible so I just combined the two countries and came up with Austin..........

DellBoy wrote:I agree with you Sam, you're a lovely girl Sherrie. I think you should be officially adopted as the website's own Country Singer. Mike, can we do that? That ok with you Sherrie??

I have no problem with that at all.........thanks!

Were you involved in the writing of your 'big' songs? Did you write Mike's favourite?

Yes I've written or co-written all my singles.......

My favourite country singers are Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. Have they recorded any of your songs?

Dolly Parton did a song of mine called "The Lucky Ones" as duet with Hal Ketchum.

North End Mam wrote:Hi!!

Great to see you are coming here.

If you look at actor Marc Ryan-Jordan's page you will see that he has been good enough to tell us his life story in one message. Any chance you could do something like that for us please?? That would be wonderful.

Not really superstitious............I don't walk under ladders though, that just seems like good common sense.....
