Actually, I've enjoyed everyone's responses to my post regarding Susan with a band. I agree with Woj about most musicians touring with just their songs and themselves are really not that pleasant to experience. I would add to his list of exceptions, Janis Ian. Have you seen her lately? She rules!!! And I agree with everyone that Susan having a band in lieu of her cherished stage charm would be a major drag. I'm also in awe of Tim who seems to have seen Susan in all shapes and forms, wow Tim, you're a lucky man! Charisse's Britney Spears comment? Brilliant, right on!!!! Thanks everyone!

Thanks for the info on the Kerr Music Festival webcast. I went to the web site, but didn't see what time the broadcast will be. If you know, will you please e-mail me? I think Texas is one hour ahead of PST. As for my "Believer Butt" attending Kerr Folk Festival, I am up here in the upper left corner of the US, and Texas is ... not!

This is necessary because the hardware itself is being moved. Although steps have been taken to insure that mail will not be lost, it's a good idea not to post during those hours. When the server is back running, I will mail the list. Websites hosted on smoe.org will be accessible during the downtime in a read only mode, that is, no files may be uploaded. Thanx!

Petaluma is actually quite a nice little town. Not too many places still celebrate the local high school football, baseball and basketball team victories or have homecoming parades or farmer's markets every weekend or Butter 'n Eggs Festival. Visit sometime, and you too will understand how accurate Petaluma Afternoons is...

As long as she gets the right sound on the CD's, we can get the "master mix" that way. While she's on the road, we have the benefit of her stage charm and purity which provide a different experience and, as someone pointed out earlier, one that we can cherish as her fans.

(Like BRING 'ROUND THE >BOAT sans the bass or MONTGOMERY STREET without the trumpet). A perfect case-in-point (and, coincidentally, my FAVORITE Susan song) is "Man I Used to Love". I heard this live when she was backed by a band at Tin Angel. Jay Scott was on guitar and she also had a keyboard player, bass/cello player and a drummer. (For those who've seen the stage at TA, you can imagine how cozy this was!) "Man I Used to Love" was the first number she did without also playing guitar. Lemme tell you, if you ever see Susan standing on stage with just a microphone in her hand, fasten your seat belt. She absolutely WAILED on this song. It was just incredible. She looped her voice in and around the music in a way that was both effortless and breath taking. I thought I'd died an gone to heaven... That was the first time I saw Susan live. Sadly it was also the LAST time I saw her front a band. She had a regular duo thing going with Jay for her Philly area shows for about a year. Jay is a marvelous guitarist (his album "Miranda's Waltz" is great), but "whole wasn't greater than the sum of the parts", unlike when she had the full band. So, yeah, I'd like to see her with a band again.
