Personally, I'd like to know what Susan has been wearing at her shows lately. Each time I see her I tease her afterward about her choice of outfits, it has become a pretty funny running joke between us. She's hilarious and very good natured about it all. Has she really gone the leather pants and halter route like she promised??? Hey believers, what's happening out there?

I'm currently living in Minnesota, and some buddies and I drove south for the show. Susan was great - well worth the drive! Her set list was pretty similiar to those that have been posted recently. Before I get started, however, wanted to remind you all about the FREE Susan show coming up at the Blue Moon Coffeehouse in Bloomington, IL on November 11th. It's a great venue - and hey, it's FREE!!! So, if you're able to get there, go! If I could, I'd be there in a heartbeat.... BACK TO AMES INFO.... Prior to the show, when the audience was lining up to enter the venue, Susan zoomed through the crowd and said, "Should be a great show. I hear she's FABULOUS," and then dissapeared again somewhere backstage. Highlights for me, included (not in any particular order): Blue Guitar Time Between Trains Shade of Grey (my newest SW favorite) Standing in My Own Way (with a new ending: Susan was strumming along with her usual fervor when, all of a sudden, like magic she had a slide on her left hand. While still playing, dancing, and singing, she tuned her low bass string down a 4th to a low G, and smoked us with a slide guitar solo...) Petaluma Afternoons All of the Above Last of the Good Straight Girls Some Other Town Like Bonsai *I For One (new?) Misery/Happiness Sorry About Jesus Ain't I Lonely Tonight Courting the Muse Big Car (killer groove on this one! Could NOT hold still!) Dow, Re, Mi (an older gentleman (60s maybe) in the front row yelled out to Susan after this song, "You've got to be pretty strange to think up something like that." Susan eyes lit up as she facetiously asked if he wouldn't perhaps like his money back and then promised that she'd sing something pretty later on. He responded, "No, I like this. It's like Greg Brown, except that I can understand all the words." I couldn't help but notice that this man purchased 5 CDs after the show. Very happy guy. Light Sleeper So Nice Seeing You Again Much at All Maybe if I Sang Cole Porter No one Needs to Know Easy to Love (Cole Porter??) Tall Drink of Water On the way to the show, Susan had driven through Correctionville, Iowa. Perplexed by the city's name, she quizzed the locals for an explanation. One man, near the back of the house, stood up and said that Correctionville was named as such due to the fact that a Global Meridian Line error had been made there, and later "corrected". Susan thought the town should play up this piece of it's past, and suggested several slogans; "Global Meridian Line Corrected Here", "Correctionville - get correct"... Someone asked about the outfit : The now famous black and white paisley pants, blank tank top, and white sweater. Susan recapped the story about the tranvestites and the distressed store owners at the store where she bought the pants in Philly... Second set, she sang a song that I would call, "I for One" - a conversation of sorts with God. Breathtaking. Anyone else heard this? The chorus especially had my attention - though of course, I can't come up with it now. The placement of the title was soooooo effective. Got the chills... I was impressed, as always, with the way the sets were put together and just how hard working Susan is. She mentioned during the second set that she had recently moved Cross Country and had been in her car, driving nonstop, since the previous Monday. She must've been exhausted, but gave no indication of that in both sets. She was on fire - 100% energy and wit. Good times, ya'll. Get on out to Bloomington if you can! - -Kell 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 V4 #175 ******************************* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- 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
