    It's like looking at my iTunes library! I've not done drag as an adult, but the towel/T-shirt hair and bathrobe dress are memories of my childhood. I'd add the following to this outstanding list of true country camp classics: "I'm not Lisa" - Jessie Colter..."...Lisa left you years ago. My eyes are not blue; but mine won't leave you..." "What's Your Momma's Name, Child" - Tanya Tucker "Delta Dawn" - Helen Reddy/Tanya Tucker "She's Got You" - Patsy Cline "When I Dream" - Crystal Gayle "Satin Sheets" - Jeanne Pruett I could go on all day, but I won't. Thanks for setting a theme for today's listening, Leslie! Sordid Lives is one of TV's great comedies, and you are great in all that you do.
