I'm a musician from the Tennessee area, and I met Susan at a gig in Knoxville last year. Since then, I've moved to the Philly area, and I wanted to talk to her about a show she has coming up in Bethlehem PA. Any help on this would be appreciated. thanks, Sam Mustafa Sam-- Sorry, but I've investigated this one myself. Since Susan is on the road so much, she can't get email on a regular basis. However, her road manager Jane reads the believers list regularly, so there's a good chance that anything you post will get back to SW. Good Luck!

The story Susan told at a show (between the time she got the invitation and when she sang at the game) was that MMG was, in fact, the genesis for the invitation. She mentioned this right after playing the song. Jane told me later that the gig went "very well" and that they got to watch the game from the sidelines.

Well, sometimes, yes, while other times, the whole note applies, and some folks may have already deleted the note it applies to. So sometimes it's necessary for that reason. Other times, not. So I would agree with you in those cases. When including "note being responded to" then as long as the "new note" is on the top, then I think it's a good precaution. You can see what's behind it and stop reading. Steve p.s. CMarie1423, sorry about that last incomplete response directly to you. I noticed I hadn't replied to all and went to cancel midstream and accidently sent it.

Imagine my surprise the other day to discover (via Musi-Cal) that Susan would be performing tonight (Fri, 8/27) in Waupaca, WI, just 45 minutes from Appleton, where we now live. Imagine my greater surprise to learn that this was to be a concert cruise, aboard the sternwheeler "Chief Waupaca." When I called to be sure tickets were still available, the nice lady said there were, and that there would be an opening band. So Dawn-Marie and I drove the 45 minutes to the banks of the Chain-o-Lakes, just outside of Waupaca. We joined the other 40 or so folks who had paid $25 each (price included beer and wine, hors d'oeuve, even brownies) to take the three hour cruise around the lake. Susan looked good. Hair is much shorter than the last time I saw her, back to brown...she wore a light blue tank top and black pants. I noticed this guy wandering around that looked slightly familiar to me. I pointed him out to Dawn-Marie and she said, "Why, that's Tom Prasada-Rao!" And it was. Turns out he was the "opening act!" (Both of them are scheduled to be in Lacrosse this weekend, so he came along for this show, too!) So the boat pulled away from the dock a little after 7:00. Tom started his set about 7:45, played until about 8:20. Great, as always. Susan started about 8:30 (with "Petaluma Afternoon"), closed about 10:00 with the folksinger song ("Born a Little Late"), did "Turn, Turn, Turn" for an encore...no intermission. After she finished, we all went up to the upper deck of the boat, sat in the moonlight, and Susan, Tom, and a local singer named LJ Booth(?) did another 20 minutes of song swapping. Susan sang "Vincent" and "Bye Bye Love" and a Cole Porter song (in which she sang Ella-style scat and imitated Alanis Morisette and Louis Armstrong). I'll talk more Sunday about some impressions from the evening. It's too late to keep typing. It was a magical evening. Bill Page Appleton, WI Oh, and she said she DID sing the national anthem at the Bears-Packers game, that she rooted for the Packers, and that a major impression from the occasion was looking across to the sidelines, and realizing how big Reggie White was (is).
