Sheila E will tune in Saturday night to see what happens to her, George Clinton, Justin Guarini, Taylor Dayne, Mickey Dolenz and the others on “Gone Country 3.”

Yes, Sheila was in Nashville for 11 or 12 days to film the reality show but she hasn’t seen the final product. So she watches the show every Saturday night (7 p.m. Central on CMT.)

She wrote songs with Nashville writers, worked on a farm and did whatever “Gone Country” wrangler John Rich asked of her and the other celebrity contestants. The hardest part of the ordeal was dealing with cameras in her face all the time, said Sheila, who is in the Twin Cities this week for a two-day residency at McNally Smith College of Music. “I had to go in my closet to do my morning prayers because they couldn’t follow me into my closet because that’s where I got dressed,” she said.

Sheila said she’d love to return to Nashville to write songs again and to buy more shoes. Of course, she didn’t divulge how the show ends.
