Don’t miss Nancy Wilson — see “An Evening with Miss Nancy Wilson” at the Herbst Theatre. It showcases a singer with one of the biggest songbooks in the world, and a way with a word like no other. Miss Wilson can make a phrase slice through the air in at least 1,000 different directions, depending on her wise whims. For proof, go to EMI’s new box set of her Capitol recordings and the re-release of the stellar Nancy Wilson Show (on CFP). I recently caught up with her by phone.
Guardian: How are you doing?
Nancy Wilson: Hanging in. How’s the weather?
G: I’m here in the rain.
NW: [Laughs]. Ah, well. I remember when my son used to go to school [in the Bay Area]. He went to Berkeley. One time he called me and said, “Mom, it’s been raining for 40 days straight, I have to get out of here.”
