Retrospectives

Holly Pritchett

I remember being shy while I was in the recording booth with the red light on and the people and music. They wanted me to talk, but everyone was prompting me...so I said "I'm too little...Then later I say "I'm too big" hahaha!" I don't know if someone asked me about mini-skirts during the track "Big", my dad thinks that maybe I was talking about that, but I know I said "Mini-skirts are seeya-ly" (silly). From my bedroom window, I could see four palm trees that lined the sidewalk, which was why they called our house The Four Palms. I called it The Big House. I used to think that the leaves looked like mini skirts on the tree, the trunk of the tree being the legs."
