how could i forget

I just realized I forgot to write about my night with rosie thomas.  For those of you who know me well, know that I simply adore rosie thomas and her music.  Until a few weeks ago, I had yet to see her in concert.  So a couple of weeks ago I hopped in the car and headed down to a tiny town called bushnell, illinois, to meet up with some college friends and brother chris, at the annual c-stone festival and see rosie.  The show was so beautiful and funny.  I was in a complete state of solace and then rosie would talk and I would almost pee my pants laughing.  She has a unique singing voice as everyone knows, but her speaking voice is sooo unique.  High-pitched, little girl unique.  Toward the end of her show, she mentioned leaving time for “Sheila” to appear.  Everyone anticipated meeting this Sheila because Rosie was so excited about it.  So at the encore, out walked “Sheila” who in fact was rosie in a neck caste and thick glasses.  So “Sheila/rosie” did this sort of SNL stand up session about marrying herself and peeing in the pond.  It was hilarious.  Who knew?!
