That was the song which brought me to Susan's music.....without that I wouldn't be here typing to believers. So I'm glad I found St. Mary's. It's very special to me .....makes me turn from my audience whenever it plays, for sure. Sometimes, for safety's sake, on a demanding stretch of road I have to fast forward the CD player when that track starts. The lyrics have to be the most moving in my complete music collection. Poignant. It's a truly brilliant song ....inspired, I'm sure, by something overwhelming.... the end of the street the wrought-iron gate the cobblestone path the names and the date the anxious hello the everyday laugh the intimate tears the epitaph..... So here I am, still believing.... in December and in May, in August and January too.....

Does anyone know if this is the same person referred to in Midwestern Saturday Night? ("I'm impressed by your French, I'm impressed by your English"). The person being sung to there is definately not from the USA.

I have to admit, I had no prior >knowledge as to who she was, or what I would be seeing and hearing. I >went with a friend who had "heard" that she was "pretty good". I was with a bunch of folks at the Towne Crier, some of whom had seen Susan before, but a couple hadn't. It was fun to watch them get progressively more blown away as the show went on. :) It was also fun to see the looks on their faces as they glanced around halfway through Susan's set and noticed that woj was holding Susan's Parker. Jane had stuck it into his hand because she was busy tuning one of Susan's acoustics and didn't have anywhere else to put it. ;) >I'm getting a little long winded here, so I will simply say, she sang >wonderfully, played guitar and piano, (not at the same time of course), >remarkably, and made us all laugh quite frequently. That's a good capsule review. :) I can't recall the set list, but it was quite similar to the Fez show a couple nights earlier. She did, finally, do "The Boy From East Dubuque" in my hearing, and it was every bit as hilarious as I figured it'd be. The company I work for has several offices across Iowa, and I know *lots* of people who talk just like the "supermarket conversation" she does at the end of the song. IndigoAniD responded: >I saw the Pawling show too. She was FABULOUS! I wonder what others of you >who were there thought about the two other acts that were with her? Well, I already knew that Vanida Gail was going to be great. I was a fan of her former band June Rich for a long time, and when I got to Fez the other night and heard her singing one of my favorite June Rich songs, I was very very very pleasantly surprised. She's not the world's greatest songwriter, but I just *love* her voice. I wish she'd gotten to do more than three songs in the middle of Susan's set in Pawling, though. Then we would've been spared the unspeakable horror that was Kevin Briony, the opening act. Take Anthony Edwards (though with a bit less hair), hand him a guitar and teach him three chords, then give him a rhyming dictionary and a copy of Bartlett's Famous Quotations with all of the *really* hackneyed cliches marked off with little pink post-it notes, and you've got Kevin Briony. We were all trying to be polite and civil, but it was impossible to keep from dissolving into laughter whenever lines like "you're the apple of my eye, and I love you to the core" (all sung *totally* earnestly, mind you) would come floating off the stage. We're still trying to figure out what the hell walnuts and rice have to do with anything (please, don't ask me to explain ... you really had to be there, but I'm glad for your sake that you weren't). We weren't alone, either. To quote someone who happened by our table before the end of his set: "He could be singing 'Down By The River' for twenty minutes, and he'd *still* suck." All I can say is, I'm really glad we were sitting in the back. But fortunately for us, soon Susan took the stage and showed us what good music is. She just keeps on getting better and better. +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 22:04:48 -0500 From: meredith Subject: Re: St. Mary's revisited Hi!
