The sheet music is in the book called "Follow That Road," published in 1994 to accompany the Christine Lavin-compiled double CD of the same name. It's published by Cherry Lane Music. The weird thing is getting to the last page of the song and finding that not only are the words and music transcribed, but Susan's rap between verses two and three on the live version is transcribed too!

As much as I enjoy reports of her travels around the country doing gigs, I have to admit that it also makes me kind of sad. I myself have been unable to get to one of her shows for MONTHS now (apologies to Sherlyn & Rona - I know I have no right to complain, since at least I live on the same continent as Susan...) Last time I saw her play was the Boston Folk Festival way back in September. Luckily, there's the new CD to tide me over 'till the next live concert. TBT lives inside my CD-Rom drive - I only take it out of there when I have to install new software, and then back in it goes! I'm also enjoying the "Postcards From the Road" feature on her website: The Walton's five & dime store card from Arkansas cracked me up. - - Mary Ellen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Susan Werner in Portland Author: Richard Email: rkonrad@javanet.com Date: 1998/11/16 Forums: fa.music.ecto Susan Werner played Stone Coast here in Portland ME tonight, a gig that was not announced til just five days ago. Not that it bothered Susan one bit- After introducing herself as "the current Wimbeldon champion from Philadelphia", she acknowledged the lack of advance notice and the subsequent small crowd of true believers, then spent the next 2+ hours wowing everyone with her devastating wit, her rapport with her audience, and most of all, her musicianship. Music seems to ooze out of every pore in Susan Werner's being... The only other performer I recall seeing recently who can singlehandedly fill a room or hall with his musicianship is Richard Thompson. Like Thompson, Susan's guitar work seems to project the feeling of a whole band by itself as does her keyboard playing- She is quite simply a wonderful instumentalist (never mind the duct tape holding the edges of one of her acoustic guitars together; The musician's secret weapon...) who somehow manages to keep the essence of her studio arrangements intact using only six strings. And her voice is just SO natural and fluid; She is one of those rare performers who makes it all look so easy and so unforced. She is also one of the most naturally funny people I have seen perform- her range of facial expressions and contortions is a side show in itself, and she manages to be both self-deprecating and supremely self-confident. And, Meredith, my tablemates and I were tempted to ask her to relate the famous Connecticut Karaoke Incident, but we settled for imagining the mindfuck she must have visited on the host and the crowd in that cocktail lounge that night... ;-) Yeah yeah, I know I was bitching about Stone Coast just last month after the Patty Griffin date, but this time the place was uncrowded, I didn't have to eat the food, and the Saturday-night contingent of loud-mouthed alcoholics-in-training at the bar was absent. And Susan Werner was onstage. Best damn ten bucks I've spent in a *long* time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ End of believers-digest V2 #216 ******************************* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- This has been a posting from the Susan Werner believers-digest To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe believers-digest" in the body of the message
