I somehow doubt that any official list identifier can be designed, agreed upon, ordered, produced, and shipped by then, so I'll produce something of my own for the occasion. I have not decided upon media yet, (shirt, button, pin, hat, spray paint, tattoo, whatever!) but whatever it is will feature this favorite Susan Werner quote, one with universal applicability under a variety of circumstances, and my personal choice for a list apparel slogan: "IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE!" Look for me at a table near the front. I'll be the grey-bearded hippie with the big smile. :) jack - -************************************************************************************* - -This has been a posting from the Susan Werner "believers" list - -To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers"in the body of the message. - -To post to the list send mail to believers@smoe.org - -To reach a human, send to charlies@voicenet.com - -Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com - -************************************************************************************* ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Feb 1998 20:34:43 EST From: SNAFU Zone Subject: Random Believer Thoughts Greetings. I don't mean to burden you with my troubles, but there are some thoughts I'd like to share that would only be understood by this list. My father has prostate cancer that has spread to the bone, and he's already outlived his life expectancy. He's in hospital now recovering from emergency surgery due to a severe infection that might have killed him if we hadn't rushed him there. I rode with him in the back of the ambulance watching as he screamed from the excruciating pain and looked to me for comfort. It was the ultimate in powerlessness. It's hard to watch what it's doing to my mother as well. My father has asked me to make sure he dies with dignity, a tall order given the circumstances. Watching someone you love slowing being taken away before his time is the most difficult thing I've experienced in my entire life... but I still believe. I am hoping that I will be able to lay these burdens down, if only for a little while, so I can fully enjoy my first Susan concert and because I am in need of some spiritual renewal. With that in mind, I would love to be able to meet Susan. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to go about doing that? For some reason I feel as though it would do me some good. Thanks, Susan Elliott - -************************************************************************************* - -This has been a posting from the Susan Werner "believers" list - -To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers"in the body of the message. - -To post to the list send mail to believers@smoe.org - -To reach a human, send to charlies@voicenet.com - -Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com - -************************************************************************************* ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Feb 1998 00:39:08 -0500 From: Christopher Russell Subject: NYC SHOW Hooray! Yippee! Thank the Almighty. This was Susan's FIRST headline appearance in NYC. As I've lamented here in the past, before tonight I've only seen her play for 20 minute sets. Whew! So. It was great to hear some of the songs that I've read described here. What continues to strike me is the blend of vulnerability and confidence Susan takes the stage with. She makes references to "Not having it all together" "Feeling inadequate" and the like. All the while she has this solid craft, a serious command of her voice, the guitars and us. She knows exactly what she's doing. She made the comment that as an artist there is some anxiety in playing New York. And while this is true for all performers from outside Manhattan very few have the honesty to come right out and say it. Susan's ability to live in the moment and acknowledge what's going on with her emotionally, to constantly be connected to her inner life, is what sets her apart from any other artist I've seen. Ever. It was a most satisfying concert. But we're on this list so none of what I've written is news. Until she comes again or I travel to her in impatience.
