CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA

...I missed the first part of this interview..but here's what I did catch..

AMANDA: The idea to me was just so compelling. I felt that it should be the conceptual thread, and it is, it's the conceptual thread that holds the record together, it runs through the rest of the album. So the rest of the songs that follow are sort of musical vignettes that fall under that umbrella, each one tells a little part of the picture.

DON: Right. Now, your first CD, when it came out, you had, like a bunch of songs off of there-

DON: You got great reviews

DON: And uh Elton John said he loved you

DON: And you know, you had great success. Did that hurt you a little bit do you think? Having that instant success?

AMANDA: No I don't think so

AMANDA: I think it, because for me, it wasn't instant. You know, I think to the people witnessing it--

AMANDA: You know, people, listening to the record on the radio, and, certainly buying the records, the public perception is always that any success you have is instantaneous

AMANDA: It doesn't matter if you've set it up over a year, and you've toured, you know--

JOANNE: Years-za probably

AMANDA: Yeah, exactly. So for me, it was very, and that for me, coupled with the fact, you know, you mentioned Norway, I was out of the country for a lot of that. I was touring outside of Canada for a good deal of time

DON: Well you're in Norway a lot then, obviously! (laughter)

THE COACH: 60,000 discs you sold over there! That's great

ALL: Yeah, that's great (laughs)

AMANDA: (laughs) I have the plaque to prove it

JOANNE: And Amanda, you are going on tour?

AMANDA: We are. I'm going to be back in Canada in mid-February. The tour dates will be announced, I think they're going to announce them the first week of January on my website.

DON: Yeah, and you're going to be coming to Calgary

DON: Well you should come here in Febraury 'cause it's lovely here--

AMANDA: Yeah, that's what I hear!
