I still can't believe my Dad's gone because somebody didn't feel like wearing a mask- they hurt so many people & got so many people sick- my family will never be the same.

Divalicious Candi shares new Top Gun: Maverick theme song by Lady Gaga!
When I wrote this song for Top Gun: Maverick, I didn’t even realize the multiple layers it spanned across the film’s heart, my own psyche, and the nature of the world we’ve been living in. I’ve been working on it for years, perfecting it, trying to make it ours. pic.twitter.com/1GReWGW8Ql

Divalicious Candi shares interesting fact about Jane Austen!
surprised to see that Jane Austen's novels never bore her own name during her lifetime, as it was seen as "unfeminizing" for a women to write as a full time author at that time, so they were just published "By a Lady" - she never got the credit or recognition she deserved in LIFE

Cemetery scene triggers Divalicious Candi after her father's funeral!
"Eleanor Rigby" - Erin Hill, harpist/singer https://t.co/jNMIC6jM6t -I think this particularly moved me because of the way Erin is playing in a cemetery-probably because my father just passed away #COVID19 -also because this is a song my Mom @GameChanger4U loves to play on flute

Divalicious Candi on her various flutes including silver, wood, tin & reed!
As far as my silver flutes (I have a nickel allergy so silver works better for my sensitive lips and hands), I have found I prefer alto to piccolo, though I normally play (& sing) soprano (but I've sung alto as well- I have a pretty decent range)- I like being 👄"looser lipped"💋 https://t.co/THPq0kTfX0

I absolutely love Kylie Minogue (surprise! for anyone who hasn't been to my gigs, I've sung her live a lot but never recorded 1 of her songs)- but this Body Language is an ESPECIALLY awesome groove, I love it, & drive to it when I don't want to SPEED (Boys: it's all about SLOW👍🏻) https://t.co/BI9YhhAG7o
