I just learned that Linda Ronstadt recorded a song on the toilet…. and it makes me feel like I’m not making the most of my time there.
It’s true.
Apparently the vocals to the song Long, Long Time were recorded in a studio bathroom.
Talk about multi tasking….
I clearly need to up my game.
River's world..... 
I imagine that the acoustics were perfect.

Ronstadt is one of my top ten female vocalists. She has a couple of “standards” albums where she kills it…
Listen to her sing “But Not for Me”…

Talk about multitasking! 🙂 I wonder if the acoustics were just what she needed, with those old wood walls.

Her voice is unique and soulful. She’s one of my favorite female artists. Her song Ooh Baby, Baby and Blue Bayou are definitely my faves.

I couldn’t read the article (print too small for my eyes), but I wonder how long it took her to record Long, Long Time…in the bathroom. Hmm? Art imitating life or life imitating art? Mona

Good point… I hadn’t thought of it that way.
Just think… a little Ex Lax and there’d be no song at all.

This makes me love her even more, lol! I fell in love with her angelic AF voice when I was 8 or 9 years old. She sang the theme song for the movie “American Tail”, it was a cartoon mouse movie. The song was called “Somewhere Out There”. Ok and then I heard her sing “Blue Bayou and it was all over for me. She has SUCH an amazing voice.
So I believe it that she could record on a toilet in the bathroom. She could record in the bottom of a dumpster, or worse and still sound totally ethereal.
