Thank you for having me. 340 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:29,560 So why don't we get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started and becoming an author. 341 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:42,560 Well, I originally was started out to be an English major and I always wanted to be a writer. 342 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:51,560 I think I wrote my first poem for my father, for Father's Day when I was like seven or eight years old. 343 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,560 It's just something I always wanted to do. 344 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:11,560 But life took me in a different direction and I wasn't able to do it until, well, what got in the way is my husband, my beloved late husband, got Alzheimer's and he had it for many years. 345 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:21,560 But while he was still lucid, he said to me, after I am gone, pick up the pen and fulfill your destiny. 346 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,560 And that's what I'm trying to do. 347 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,560 Fulfill my destiny. 348 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,560 What do you like most about being able to write your own books? 349 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:51,560 I love to be able to play with the characters, especially naming them whatever I wish to name them because I have carried the nickname Tutsie for so many years. 350 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,560 I've been Tutsie. I love nicknames. 351 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:04,560 I could nickname most anybody and you get to do that as an author of fiction. 352 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,560 I mean, I can call my cavities whatever I wish. 353 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:16,560 And that intrigues me. I really enjoy doing that. 354 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:25,560 If you had the opportunity to collaborate with any author Tutsie, who would you choose and why? 355 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,560 Well, my mentor is no longer with us. 356 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:36,560 But if she was, it would have been Grace Matalias. 357 00:27:36,560 --> 00:28:00,560 She was a writer back in the 50s and 60s, early 60s maybe, and she very famously wrote Peyton Place and I believe The Return to Peyton Place, which went on to become not only a mega hit, it became a hit movie. 358 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:10,560 And I believe it was the first night weekly cereal ever made for TV, I believe, with Peyton Place. 359 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,560 And Grace wrote that book. 360 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:22,560 And she was just, I read it in the mid 60s, and she was just a great storyteller. 361 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:35,560 And I said, and I loved her work, and I'm sad that she died very young. But if she had not, I think she would have went on to be one of the really great ones. 362 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:52,560 And I kind of modeled my work after her because when I am writing fiction, and I mostly write fiction and poetry, I model my work after her. I really, after her work. 363 00:28:52,560 --> 00:29:03,560 And I try to tell a great story. And that's my favorite part of writing, telling a story. 364 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:11,560 What advice would you give somebody that might want to start writing their own book and becoming an author? 365 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,560 Oh, I would tell them, go for it. 366 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:28,560 I have met so many people in my lifetime who have told me, they started writing a book, and maybe they have five or ten pages. 367 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:41,560 And it's been sitting in their nightstand forever. And they just never got back to picking it up and moving along with it. 368 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:51,560 My advice would be, if you want to be a writer, pick up the pen. Or as they do, I pick up the pen because I write longhand. 369 00:29:51,560 --> 00:30:01,560 I have an assistant that puts everything in my computer. But they would get on the computer now and just go for it. Tell your story. 370 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:13,560 I personally, by the way I was taught way back when in school, I make an outline first of the entire work. 371 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:25,560 And then I put the first chapter in. And I usually will go to the end. I want to see what's going to start and where it's going to be at the end. 372 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:32,560 And then I go back and I fill in the rest of it. But that's my style. 373 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:44,560 People write different times of the day. And everybody's got their own way of doing it. I do it by outline. 374 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:50,560 And that works for me because that's how I was taught in school. 375 00:30:50,560 --> 00:31:00,560 So Tutsi, what do you like doing outside of being an author and writing books? Do you have any hobbies, interests, anything like that? 376 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:11,560 Not really. I live outside. I like to travel. And I did before the pandemic. 377 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:18,560 The only trip I've made since, I just came back from Las Vegas. I love to go to Las Vegas. 378 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:25,560 And I do like to travel. And I'm going to start doing it again. 379 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:34,560 Hobbies? No. Writing, this is what I do. I write. It's not just, it's not a job for me. 380 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:43,560 For me, this is my hobby because I enjoy it so much. It relaxes me. 381 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:51,560 I was already retired. My husband had been retired before he passed away. We did a lot of traveling. 382 00:31:51,560 --> 00:32:01,560 So I didn't have to pick up the pen. And I did it because I always wanted to do it. And I absolutely love it. 383 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:07,560 So in a sense, writing is my hobby. I write novels. 384 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:15,560 I work with screenplay that goes along with sugar paper. That's up for sale right now in Hollywood. 385 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:24,560 I write games books. The second one, the sequel to I Can See the Rainbow Bridge, just went in production on Monday. 386 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:30,560 That is called Will You Be There When I Call to You. And I write poetry. 387 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:38,560 Actually, poetry is my favorite, but there's really not much of an outlet for that. 388 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:47,560 So I just write that for myself and let it go with that. 389 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,560 There you go. That works. 390 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,560 It does. It works for me. Yes. 391 00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:07,560 So Tootsie, if someone was to write a book about you, what do you think that they would write about? 392 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:15,560 You know, I have been asked if I would ever write an autobiography about my life. 393 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:29,560 And I told them not at this time, but I would never say never. If somebody was to write about me, well, I had a very, very unusual life. 394 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:34,560 Having grown up in Jersey City. 395 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,560 Frankly, I grew up with a lot of guys that went on to become wise guys. 396 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:54,560 That's how I was able to write the book Sugar Paper to our knowledge that is the only entirely Italian mobbed up book ever to be written by a woman. 397 00:33:54,560 --> 00:34:04,560 So obviously, there's something in my background that put me around that environment. 398 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:11,560 Because it is accurate, although it's a work of fiction, what's real is accurate. 399 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:16,560 So I did have a very unusual life. 400 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:25,560 As a matter of fact, I was married to two of them. I called them wise guy number one and wise guy number two. And I was in that world. 401 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:31,560 And it was, but in a very unusual capacity for a woman. 402 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:39,560 So, but I don't want to give that away, because that's in the book in my novel that's out now. 403 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,560 And the one I wrote the screenplay for. 404 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:48,560 Because if history is taught us one thing, mob movies make all the money. 405 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:55,560 And it is mobbed up from cover to cover, and never done by a woman. 406 00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:03,560 So hopefully, I'm going to be able to find the right person that sees the value in it. 407 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:11,560 As Hollywood's been choping the last few years, they really want more work from women. 408 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,560 They want to be more inclusive. 409 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:18,560 Well, you know, let's stop talking about it. Let's come and get it. 410 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,560 Because I've got what's never been done before. 411 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,560 And because they do make a lot of money in Hollywood. 412 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:31,560 And, you know, Hollywood could really, they could use a big blockbuster right about now. 413 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:42,560 Since they came back from the pandemic, aside from all the kids movies, like now it's Mario Brothers, they make all the money. 414 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:51,560 But there hasn't been an adult movie with the exception of the Tom Cruise remake of Top Gun. 415 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:57,560 They're not doing much. Not with adult movies. Well, come and get it, because I've got it. 416 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:07,560 And so I'm working on that as well, trying to get it out there, trying to find the right buyer for it. 417 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,560 And because I did write the screenplay. 418 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:15,560 And do I think it belongs on the big screen? 419 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:23,560 But of course, because, like I said, history has taught us, people are fascinated with the mob. 420 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:31,560 And they all make money. So if they want to make some money, they should be knocking on my door. 421 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:37,560 I shouldn't be knocking on theirs in plain English. 422 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,560 But one of these days I am going to sell it. 423 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:48,560 And I am going to see it up on the big screen. And it will become a blockbuster. I am convinced of that. 424 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,560 That's that. 425 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:57,560 Tootsie, if people want to learn more about you, where can they find you? 426 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:12,560 I'm at www.tootsiebarron.com. And all my work is up there, including the two minute movie trailer that we are pitching. 427 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:19,560 And the pitch that goes with it to Hollywood. And everything's up. All my work is up there. 428 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,560 And I think you can find all my work. 429 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:30,560 And as soon as this next book comes out, we'll be adding that one as well. 430 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:40,560 If you had one message that you would like to tell anyone that might be listening, one message at all, what would you tell them? 431 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:48,560 Oh, I would tell them, you're never too old to do anything. 432 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,560 I love you. And I never deny that. 433 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:56,560 If you've got a goal or there's something you've always wanted to do, don't be afraid. 434 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:02,560 Step up. Step out there. And try it. And go for it. 435 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:08,560 And age doesn't matter. Gender doesn't matter. Nothing matters. 436 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,560 If you've got a dream, go after it. 437 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:18,560 Throw a lasso around it and give it your best shot, because that's exactly what I'm doing. 438 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,560 And I never gave up on that dream. 439 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:32,560 And I'm going to take it as far as I can take it. As long as I'm alive, I'm going to keep on writing. 440 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:38,560 Tootsie, is there anything that I forgot to mention that you would like to mention today? 441 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:48,560 Well, only that the sequel is in production to I Can See the Rainbow Bridge. 442 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:53,560 Will you be there when I call to you? That will be out very soon. 443 00:38:53,560 --> 00:39:03,560 Sugar Paper, of course, is out there. It's on Amazon, Books, Barnes & Noble, wherever you can buy books. 444 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:10,560 Hopefully, I'm going to get this screenplay made into a movie. That's another goal. 445 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:18,560 And I'm completing another novel, which is completely different from Sugar Paper. 446 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:27,560 It's called Into Foreverland, and it's a story of a lifelong friendship and a beautiful love story. 447 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:37,560 And hopefully, I will have that finished by the end of the year, and that will be my next novel that I will be releasing. 448 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:47,560 And if I live long enough, someday I might just write the sequel to Sugar Paper, because I have an outline for that. 449 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:55,560 And that will be called The Bartender's Daughter, because that's who I am. 450 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,560 Thank you so much for taking the time to come on The Cate and Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix. 451 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,560 We appreciate your time and support, so thank you. 452 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,560 Thank you so much for having me. It's been a pleasure talking to you. 453 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:13,560 And stay well, and as I sign every book, I wish you all that heaven allows. 454 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,560 Hello and welcome to The Cate and Gordon Show today's Best Country Mix. 455 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:21,560 Joining me right here today is Terry Lawrence. Terry, how are you? 456 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,560 Real good, Caten. Glad to be here. 457 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:31,560 So let's get started by getting to know you a little bit and how you got started in the music industry. 458 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:38,560 Well, I started keyboards when I was a kid. About six took some lessons. 459 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:48,560 And then I guess when The Beatles came out and the surf music and everything, I started playing guitar and keyboards and a couple bands and everything. 460 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:58,560 And then Motown, I guess around 65, I get into all the Motown music with Smokey Robinson and doing a lot of different songs like a lot of other people through the years. 461 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:06,560 So I had good ear for music and singing and playing guitar and keyboards. 462 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:12,560 So I got into it through, you know, through the 60s, all different types of music. 463 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:25,560 I would tell them to look with their strengths where they feel comfortable, whether they have an ear or they can create which direction they want, they feel comfortable they want to go. 464 00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:51,560 And I would say start out with your best gift that you feel that you have and contact an agent to get involved trying to place you in different places to perform or and different ideas with the Internet, 465 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:57,560 trying to get on different websites to present your music and things. 466 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:10,560 But to be inspired to do what you feel you would like to do, whether it's writing, singing, playing or a combination of both, whatever your gift is. 467 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:19,560 That's what I would say. If someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would write about? 468 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,560 About me, a song about me? Yeah. 469 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:41,560 I would say they would probably write about my, probably my experiences with, oh boy, that's a hard one. 470 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:53,560 What would they write about me? They'd write about, I guess, kindness and free flowing spirit. 471 00:42:53,560 --> 00:43:02,560 Somebody that enjoys life and free spirit. That's what I would say. 472 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,560 So Terry, tell me a little bit about My Angel Baby. 473 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:15,560 Well, the song came out in 1978. It was written, it was, I don't, I'm not sure who they wrote the song, but it was performed by Toby Bow, an artist. 474 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:22,560 It was a nice song, a bluesy tune. And I was performing that in Burbank with a trio back then. 475 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:28,560 I had the guitar player, The Grassroots, the drummer for Rita Coolidge and I were in a trio. 476 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,560 And I performed that song along with some other ones. 477 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:39,560 The song was a nice bluesy tune and I've sung it, started singing it then and through the years it's kind of like my signature tune that I sang. 478 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:45,560 So I enjoyed singing it. And so I performed it for years off and on with different people. 479 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,560 I mean, I've gone on to do, you know, a lot of different other tunes, but I, it's one of my favorites. 480 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:56,560 It's a really good tune from the late seventies. So that's one of the reasons why it was good. 481 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:01,560 It has a nice harmonica solo. We put a guitar solo in there instead. 482 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,560 And this is my version of Toby Bow's tune. 483 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:14,560 In fact, I was on a cruise and I won a, back in 2005, I won the cruise performance that night. 484 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:21,560 I sang that song and I got, actually, Toby Bow's drummer was in the audience and he played on that tune with me. 485 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:28,560 So it was nice. 486 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:35,560 Terry, if someone was to write a song about you, what do you think that they would write about? 487 00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:47,560 They were right about my kindness, generosity that I think I have with people and, and, you know, creativity for music and enjoyment of life. 488 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:53,560 That's pretty much it. 489 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:59,560 Walk me through a somewhat typical day of Terry Lawrence. 490 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:10,560 Well, when I get up in the morning and have a cup of coffee, kind of relax and, you know, listen to a couple of tunes, 491 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:19,560 communicate with my producer on a few different updated things we may want to record in the future. 492 00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:32,560 And then, then I may just go for a walk. I'm pretty much an athlete. I exercise and lift weights and just get the juices flowing in the morning. 493 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:45,560 And, you know, I just see what comes throughout the day. You know, I may get a call for to do a gig or another recording session or something. 494 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:56,560 And so I'm always open to anything that's coming up. I do some communication with, I'm on Spotify and some of the other digital stations there. 495 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:03,560 So I interact with people and things like that. That's pretty much my day. 496 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:08,560 Terry, if people want to learn more about you, where can they find you? 497 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:20,560 They can find me on Spotify. My albums and single tunes are on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon.com.
