Last night we went to see Anita Renfroe in concert at Northwestern College in Roseville. I've driven by the entrance to that college but never been through the grounds before. Holy shamoley, that campus is about 20 times larger than I thought it would be and is a beautiful setting complete with a lake. Anita Renfroe is a modern day Erma Bombeck and very funny. She can take mundane daily activities and turn them into comedy with her gestures, facial expressions, and great timing. Besides stand up comedy she can sing and play the piano. She took a song called Breathe by Faith Hill and changed into a tune about her husband's morning breath. On the screens to the side of the stage was a parody of Faith Hill's video of the song - extremely funny stuff. You might have seen her video on You Tube. She sings to the tune of the William Tell Overture. I believe she calls it Momsense. She ended the show with that song. From our front row seats, we applauded until our hands were sore.
