Scott Sickles: Essie and Willie (a monologue)

Absolutely delightful!

I love a good memoir piece and this one is lovely – just the right amount of nostalgia without too much sentimentality. But with a piece like this, nostalgia and sentiment are as elemental three-quarter time is to a waltz.

We get to know just enough about Essie and Willie to love them through the eyes of the author. What a beautiful way to travel back in time!
