| JEANNE ROBERTSON |
With 3 compadres, The Travelling Toe drove east to Dallas to see Jeanne Robertson, at the Winspear Opera House presented by the AT&T Performing Arts Center . Ms. Roberson is a former Miss North Carolina winner, at 6 foot 2 inches, has beautiful short grey hair and an infectious smile. Her humorous observations about life most times include stories about her husband, who she affectionately calls "left brain".
She has DVD's, books, CD's available plus she has a program on Sirus XW satellite radio, and millions of fans on You Tube and Facebook.
The evening we saw Jeanne, she had suffered a fall and injured her knee....and from the effort it took for her to walk on stage with assistance she must have been in some serious pain...but the show must go on and she did. She sat on a pillow in a Cracker Barrel rocking chair and began to tell one amusing story after another. The capacity crowd enjoyed the entire 90 minutes of fun and laughter. When it was time to go she was assisted up out of her rocking chair and hobbled off stage. What a Trooper! One of the funny stories she told was called "Bama - got a sec?" and if you know football you will know he story. It was so funny and since Jeanne is an Auburn alum, it was priceless.
This is the second time that The Travelling Toe has been privileged to hear Jeanne in person and certainly hope she comes our way again.

***just a side note to the Winspear, we sat on the front row and the echo was awful...sometimes we could not understand what was being said...additional not enough ladies restroom facilities were included in the building...I guess male architects don't understand that women do get tired of standing in line to use the restroom!
