I'm always amazed that other believers can recall entire set lists! Since my short term memory is nowhere near that good, I can only convey a few impressionistic deatils. >> We take notes! But I didn't last week at 4 Corners - so can anyone come up with the title and/or a few lyrics to a bluesy piano song of Susan's? At 4 Corners she asked out permission to test an "experiment" - she played 6 (7?8?) songs at the piano, all in one long set, which she referred to as a "song cycle", covering the entire scope of a relationship over time. There were 2 new-to-me songs in this set, one a Cole-Porter-ish one called ?It was great seeing you again? and this other one which had a definite blues riff to it. Any help folks?
