My husband and I went to an art showing at the Magic Theatre downtown Omaha. It's a fabulous building, an old department store, beautiful architecture. So we're walking around looking at the art and we see Sarah walk in – jeans, t-shirt, hair in a pony tail – itty bitty thing.  We were thinking she was maybe 12 years old. So she plugs in her guitar and starts singing and we just stopped. We were completely sucked in from this huge voice coming from this tiny girl. I was completely blown away.
