A composer of original songs, Drucille hopes to release them on a CD in the near future. Friendly and ever willing to help, Drucille readily answered the questions we posed to her despite the fact we snapped her out of her afternoon siesta! Name: Drucille G (Drucille Gomez) Fav colour: Yellow. The colour radiates happiness. For instance yellow flowers are beautiful and I love them. Trendy outfits: I'm all for it. I wish I could wear every trendy outfit! But I guess I have to think of the shape of my figure. Hair do's: I like to be adventurous with styles that suit my face. I'm all for tinting. In fact my hair has burgundy and brown tints and I prefer short hair because it is easy to manage. Fav music: Country and western. But I listen to all types of music. I sing all types in the band Pearl. I enjoy R&B. I've composed many country songs and I intend re-arranging the songs, using other singers and releasing them in a CD. Fav song of the 80's and 90's: From the 80's Neil Sedaka's "Laughter in the Rain." From the 90's - come to think of it, I can't put my finger on a particular song, except tell you that I enjoy Lorrie Morgan very much. Any embarrassing day: Yes. It stands out well. The band was playing "New Kid In Town" and I was singing the song and I don't know how I just lost my concentration. I came back at the wrong place in the melody and got cold stares from the rest of the band. It never happened again! How much of a party girl are you: No. I'm not a party girl. I love laughter and friends. But not partying. After a late night what keeps you awake: It's not easy to fall asleep. I watch TV until I'm ready to hit the bed. These days I get up early in the morning for walks to help me keep in good shape. Are you superstitious: Yes I am. But in little things. Do you still have your childhood toys: I didn't have many toys when I was a kid. I had a rag doll which I loved very much - but she left me somewhere down the line! What's your pet hate: The double standards in people. In general there are many who display double standards. What makes you happy in life: My children. Actually apart from my children it takes a little bit to make me happy - for instance like sitting at the beach and watching the waves. Where would you like to be most now: In Sri Lanka. I like travelling, seeing places but I'll always come back home. What other profession would you like to be in: A chef. I have a knack for it. Everybody enjoys the food I cook. My speciality is rice and curry and my buriyani is extra special - I have my own secrets! What would you do if you ruled the world: I'll make it a better place to live in. I'll influence the people to end racial hatred and end wars. I'll see that people have enough to eat - in short remove all barriers and make people happier. Is there a product you would like to endorse: Commercially I don't like to endorse any product. But socially I would like to be associated with any movement or organisation against the abuse of children. Fav cartoon character: The Simpsons. Your worst hit song: The song from the Titanic - "My Heart Will Go On." It has been overplayed and I've been made to sing it umpteen times that I hate it now. If Elvis Presley were still alive, what would he be doing: He would still be singing. He had a beautiful voice. From his era, Cliff Richard is still popular, so I guess he would be recording, thrilling audiences and enjoying popularity. What do you think life would be like in 3000: Life would be highly advanced technically, and I sincerely hope musicians won't be out of jobs! |
