Singer Jevetta Steele, a solo artist and one-fifth of the Steeles (www.thesteelesmusic. com), riffs on family, her Sunday game plan and why guests are always welcome in her laundry room. Q How do you balance your time, between performing and having a life at home?
A I'm trying to come off the road for my daughter, who's been traveling with me. She needs roots really bad! But I am going to Greece in June to do "The Gospel at Colonus," 25 years after it gave me my start. [She starred in the original touring show.] And I'm booked in Dubai for New Year's Eve.
Q When you're not on the road, what's a typical Sunday like at your house?
A We get up, go to church, go out to lunch together, then everybody comes home. We might all play a board game. My favorite? Scrabble.
Q What's your least favorite home chore?
A I hate to cook. I cook all the time. But if I had to choose between a housekeeper and a cook, I'd take the cook.
Q What's your favorite spot in your house?
A A chair near the picture window. It's so beautiful outside [facing Wirth Parkway]. I can have a cup of tea and just look.
