Paul >>From: thiels@state.mi.us (Suzanne THIEL) To: PBCoustic@aol.com When all else fails, e-mail the Chenille's record co: Reply to: RE: Chenille Sisters Lyrics Dear Suzanne, I checked with Connie, who sings the lead in "Seduced"--- and she THINKS the mystery line is "flirtin' with a sorta what flirtin' ought to do". So that is what she sings. Now she also freely admits that she may have made that up! She suggests that you check out Leon Redbone's version of the song (which is what she learned it from) and see if you can decipher it any better. Hope this was helpful. Connie also sends thanks for your kind words about The Chenille Sisters.

I met Susan in 1994 at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. I was on a business trip with a bunch of lawyers and a few of us went to the Bluebird. Susan was singing "in the round" with three other singer/songwriters. At one point Susan introduced "So Heavy" by saying it was about her brother who had been a lawyer for the SEC and chucked it to become a comedian. I started clapping and Susan said, "I see we have a comedian in the audience." I said, "No, we have a lawyer who wishes he was a comedian." After the show, Susan came over to the table and signed by Bluebird Cafe brochure, "To Ron -- I've never been the same since Bermuda -- the moonlight, you, the ABA..." I went back to see Susan a few nights later and after the show she came over and talked to me. She gave me a CD and told me I was her "first Nashville fan." I told her that years from then, when I would try to get backstage at a big concert hall, she would not remember me. She said, "No. I've heard you never forget first fans." Well, I've been "First Nashville Fan" or "Nashville Fan" ever since, even though I live in So. Pasadena on the edge of LA. Sometimes Susan remembers me. Other times she doesn't. ;-) Ron (1st Nashville fan who happens to live in LA) Susan Werner Related Accomplishments: Author: Sorry About Susan Werner Cha Cha Demonstrator: First McCabe's Show First turned Jane on to McCabe's Guitar Shop Don't Miss the Upcoming Movie: "The Amazing Life of Ron Rosen" starring Brad Pitt Dustin Hoffman Meryl Streep with Jennifer Aniston directed by Steven Speilberg music by Susan Werner and Jefferson Airplane HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at songs.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 14:58:54 -0500 From: "Murphy, Steve" Subject: RE: Nicknames This is a great thread (there - I've used "thread" in a sentance).

Two years ago when Suze was playing at Shawnee Peak, Maine, my wife mentioned to her that she was going to school to become a massage therapist. Susan casually said that she'd love to give Jane a massage as a gift for working so hard. Last year before the gig in New London, NH, we met up with Susan & Jane, and the conversation came up again. Long story short, my wife Kelly got the opportunity of a lifetime... she gave massages to both Suze & Jane! That day there was a monster snow storm, but Kelly was going to get to New London come hell or high water! Ever since then, every time we see Jane, she refers to Kelly as "Hands".

Well, before you do that please keep in mind that that punchline has been circulating the Net for many, many years. Chances are anyone you send it to will have seen it several times before. Speaking of nicknames ... does it count that Susan gave someone else my nickname? Apparently she met someone named Meredith at the show in New Jersey last weekend and said "oh, meth!" The girl was (understandably) quite confused, but then after Susan explained she allowed as it was a pretty cool nickname and she might start using it herself. :) Then, of course, there are the nicknames Susan has given herself. We still call her "Svetlana" to distinguish her from all the other musical Susans out there.

Being nicknamed by Susan. Anyone else out there been so lucky? >> My 10 year old son went with me to see Susan last year as part of the celebration for his winning the spelling bee at his school. I wrote Susan a note asking that if she was going to sing Petaluma, could she dedicate it to him since it was his favorite. Of course she went the extra mile and really made it special for him. We were right in front of her ("Duck, she's moving her guitar!") and as she returned for her second set she tuned her guitar in silence and then leaned forward and said to him "Spell Petaluma." Luckily, he did it correctly and she introduced him to the crowd as the spelling bee champ from our town. Everyone clapped and he stood for his appreciative audience. She continued the conversation with him for about 2-3 more minutes in no hurry to "get on with it" and ended it with "Well, thanks for coming out to the show Hot Shot." and sang Petaluma for him. He had the biggest smile you could imagine. Later in the show during Movie... as she sang "I hope they mention I was very good with children" she turned from the piano to give him a wry wink. It was very funny. She asked for our address and sent him a SW tee-shirt as a prize! Just one more reason why she is simply the best.
