I took a web search to bring the memories back, but I'm definitely going to have to start watching Sister Wendy... I did catch her show once while flipping channels (before I heard Shawn talk about it in concert) and was transfixed. The fact that she's now connected to Shawn just gives me one more excuse to watch the show.
