I was so grateful to have been apart of such an incredible day and am still in awe that that even happened!<br \/>\nBedell:\u00a0How do you come up with the mashups you do?\u00a0 Do you do the arrangements for them?<br \/>\nLW:\u00a0I get inspiration for each one in different ways, and yes I arrange them myself. If I feel like a mashup is close but hit a creative block, I have a few friends I reach out to for input.\u2028\u2028Bedell:\u00a0When you launch an original like \u201cEvery Little Thing,\u201d which is beautiful by the way, do you get nervous that people won\u2019t respond as well to your original work as they do your covers?<br \/>\nLW:\u00a0Yes, that can be a huge fear of mine. My goal has always been to be an artist singing my own songs. While it\u2019s been completely fabulous getting a fast pass to where I am now, I don\u2019t want to be known as a cover artist. So I definitely get nervous that my fans will only like my covers.\u00a0 But when it comes down to it, I\u2019m not worried. I have an amazing team in place and have been working day in and out for as long as I can remember, so I\u2019m just excited to see when it all goes from here.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HzeVpm6hsCo\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Bedell:\u00a0When did you pick up playing the guitar?<br \/>\nLW:\u00a0I started playing the guitar when I was a sophomore in high school, so a little over 4 years ago.<br \/>\nBedell:\u00a0Parlors are gaining in popularity \u2013 why does that body shape appeal to you?<br \/>\nLW:\u00a0I am absolutely obsessed with the parlor shape.\u00a0 It is small just like me so I truly feel like we are just made for each other. Its Louisa sized!<br \/>\nBedell:\u00a0You spent quite a bit of time \u201cstalking\u201d the Earthsong Parlor.\u00a0 What was it about that guitar that spoke to you?<br \/>\nLW:\u00a0Stalking is a very accurate word, haha. From the 1st to the 7th time I came to visit my beloved Earthsong, the tone, color of the wood, and size were the definition of perfection to me.\u00a0 Every time I played it in the store and now wherever I go, it just feels right. \u00a0A sense of peace just comes over me when I play.<br \/>\nBedell:\u00a0And now it seems it\u2019s taken a life of its own.\u00a0 Many people name their guitars\u2026yours is Baby B.\u00a0 But it has it\u2019s own Instagram page @BabyBedell?<br \/>\nLW:\u00a0Yes it does! Those who know me, know I\u2019m a goof, and having a page for my guitar is so fun .\u00a0I mean, why not! People make pages for their cats and dogs all the time. And Baby B has it\u2019s own cute little personality so how I could I not? \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nBedell:\u00a0Any new videos on the horizon we can look forward to?<br \/>\nLW:\u00a0Yes!
