She is a real sweetheart. An open and charming person.

She truly is. I'm in total love with her. She had a long line of people to buy a CD and meet her, yet gave each person a dedicated minute or two.

I also felt sorry for her with the added expectation of "selfies." Primarily for the awkwardness involved. First off, she got her exercise jumping up off her seat to stand for each person to pose for the selfie. Secondly, because of the demographics, many in line weren't exactly expert on doing it. (I started thinking they should have a "Pee-Wee Herman pull-down background screen, and a "smartphone holster" pre-aimed for the shot.)

I've seen that happen time and again. Particularly with cell phones. I have been to these occasions where the artist will have her personal representative there and they will take the photos.

On Sunday night there was a long line of people wanting to talk to Leslie Uggams and of course take photos of her. She sat through the whole process.
