THAT SOUNDS FUN The Joys of Being an Amateur, the Power of Falling in Love, and Why You Need a Hobby

Annie F. Downs gives a smile-worthy performance filled with exuberance as she encourages listeners to reclaim what brings them joy. Downs believes we have lost the foundation of our lives that once allowed us to have real fun. Here, with intoxicating honesty and enthusiasm, she shares her journey to rediscover "Eden." Downs's big voice has a raspy quality that highlights her laughter and deep affection as she discusses a plethora of topics, including the joys of being an amateur, fear, Dolly Parton, and tattoos. There is an all-encompassing warmth in her stories that embraces the largeness of life and her absolute love for her family, friends, and God. This is a listening experience that is spirited, inspiring, and so much fun. M.F. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2021]
