The nationally-broadcasted production for the breakfast set is slated to focus on Kennett's Sheryl Crow and her mom, Bernice Crow, in a segment that features celebrities and their mothers.

"CBS came to Kennett and filmed it about a month ago," Bernice Crow said Friday. "Harry Smith came and spoke with me.

"I think the interesting thing to the community will be they filmed the high school band marching," Crow added. "If it gets in the piece, I don't know. They film lots and lots and then cut it down to five or 10 minutes."

Crow said the film crew worked in a number of places in town, including on The Square, in the Bank of Antiques' Sheryl Crow room, at the Presbyterian Church and at the Dunklin County Library's Sheryl Crow exhibit.

"They came to our home, but they didn't do any filming here," Crow said. "I went down to the library first with the producer of the show.

"He said, 'This is great,'" she added. "'We're not going to do anything at your house because this is perfect.' Everything is there. So, they filmed most of it there at the library, and then more at Mary Jo's -- at The Bank of Antiques."

Crow said the focus of the segment concerns what's it's like to be the mother of a famous person.

"I don't mind it," she laughed. "It's part of the job description."

CBS's Smith and crew interviewed Bernice and Sheryl together at the Grammy Award winner's New York apartment after the company's Kennett visit, Crow explained.

"We went to New York two days later for the Saturday Night Live show," Crow said. "Sheryl performed a concert at Lincoln Center.

"Then [Smith] came to her apartment and talked to both of us there," she added. "I'm sure they'll include some of that."

As for her daughter's coming nuptials to cycling icon Lance Armstrong, Bernice said the wedding will be quick and won't be in Kennett.

"Although we thought [Daily Dunklin Democrat Publisher Bud Hunt] had lots of great ideas," Bernice laughed. "We sent his columns to her.

"She loved it."

The program airs at 7 a.m. CST Monday on CBS affiliates coast to coast.
