"So cute, she is such a generous person. We work Saturday 12 hours recording. Sunday she comes in early, has her make up done and her cool little hat, brings in HER camera and wants to take picture with us....then we were allowed to take pictures with our camera.. Then we worked 12 more 12 hours. Then she was up on set Monday morning at 5:30 am to film the songs on set for the show. We were hired to shoot the EPK footage that day. We were rapped at 9:30pm that night and she was still working.

I am the same age as Olivia, and a life long admirer. I had two great fears when I we were assigned the job, one I would screw up on my end, the other she would be some peppery diva and I would lose my 40 years of admiration. I was amazed and overwhelmed to find her twice as nice and generous as my best expectations. Olivia & Amy Sky were very kind to our backwater studio staff and patient with our knee shaking learning curve.

We have recorded stars and famous folk .... that was a such a pleasant life affirming event. I have sat and thought and I can't think of anyone that could top that event in my life...Well, that's enough gushing, I am glad her knee is better and she's happy."

{"The 'knee thing' was her Great Dane (actually her Irish Setter, Jack - MJ) ran into her and cause a hairline fracture in her knee, it was better at the studio but flared up a few days later. This was January and she had the Great Wall walk coming up and was worried about that slowing her down.")
