Bobert, if you don't talk much, she may be filling space. It may be a sort of invitation to a chorus. It would be polite to repeat it WITH her. Maybe, in a more bluesy tradition, you could interject comments in between the first time and the repeats.

Sort of like:
P-Vine: "I talked to Marge on the phone today, and she sounded pretty good. Yep..."
You: "TELL me how she sounded!"
P-Vine "She sounded pretty good. She said her cousin's boss got a milkshake from McD's. Yep, he..."
You: "SHAKE it, mama!"
P-Vine: "...got a milkshake from McD's and wouldn't you know, there was a big ol' dead fly in it. Can you believe it, there was..."
You: "TESTIFY, baby!"
P-Vine: "...a fly in it."

You get the picture.
