    actually Martina was 7 when she joined her Dads band and at that age she sang "I'm Little but I'm Loud" at a 4H convention in Manhattan, KS which is on the Evolution album.

    Yeah, I remember that from a Martina Moment. Would that be considered a job?

    #6 Is it "Somewhere Over the Rainbow?" I remember her saying that it meant a lot to her.

    Both 1989 and 1990 appear in various places on the web as the year the McBrides moved to Nashville. Does this mean we have to settle this in the Octagon?

    Of course, we all know how reliable information on the web can be.

    Yep, you're right, Old Grouch. I found the 1989 date straight from Wikipedia.
