Introduction
In this early interview, Shania Twain appears on Entertainment Desk following a performance at the Saloon. She discusses her humble beginnings—singing on restaurant countertops at age three, performing more seriously by age ten, and later playing events and writing music in Toronto while taking vocal lessons.
During summers, she worked in northern Ontario in her family’s forestry business, waking up as early as 3 AM to lead a tree-planting crew. Despite her delicate appearance, she describes life in the bush as rugged but character-building.
Shania also performs “Still Under the Weather” from her debut album, a ballad about heartbreak and resilience. The host praises her voice, and Shania shares that Sean Penn had just directed her new music video in Los Angeles, and was even encouraging her to consider acting.
The segment closes with Shania introducing her guitarist, Jack Daniels, a seasoned musician from Nashville.
