My husband came home from the World Folk Music Association benefit concert in, I think, 1993 (or 94) raving about Susan Werner, then I think Mary Cliff played "So Heavy" on the radio and I HATED it. Then my husband forced me to go see her at the old Birchmere, where she played some GOOD songs, like Attend the Sky and, I'm sure, LotGSG, and stared at me, and ended with La Vie en Rose, and I had to go talk to her afterwards (to find out how we could carry her CD's at the record store where I worked) and the first thing she said to me was "why wouldn't you look at me? I was trying to get your attention!" Man, that was a long time ago!

Here is my story.............I think it was dec 93 at the Iron Horse, She was opening for Arlo Guthrie............She was singing songs from a Mid Western Saturday Night and by the time she got to The Great Outthere I couldn't have cared it Arlo Guthrie made it onto the stage that night or not! I think it was that song and the Baby Boomer song that really got me hooked. I left the next day for 6 months of backpacking in Southern Chile and Peru with Susans songs in my head. As soon as I returned I looked her touring schedule up.......and that was the beginning of many Susan related road trips. - -tony(a) HELP! owner-believers@smoe.org Send mail to believers@smoe.org Susan's CD's are available on your desktop at World Cafe CDs http://worldcafecds.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 09:11:45 EDT From: PBacoustic@aol.com Subject: Re: First Susans This has been a very cool thread, hasn't it! For those players among us, what was the first SW song you worked up a cover of? Mine was "Snow White" -- one of the songs that knocked me out that first time I saw her in '97...

My best friend found "Big Car" and "Standing in My Own Way." I guess it was a year later that I saw Susan and Lucy play a show together at the Birch. Susan came on first, playing "Time Between Trains" and I was pretty sure I was going to die -- we were sitting at the very front of the very center table. I remember slunking down in my chair and all my friends making fun of me; I don't think I had ever seen a picture of her, and she was stunning (not to mention her voice was beyond incredible). She also wore the coolest pants that night (I know because when she sang the line "I've got nice legs / I've got decent looks," I decided to look for myself) that had little zippers on the backs of the bottoms of the legs. That show always ranks in favorite concert memories. Way badass. So since, I've purchased all her CDs, and I faithfully go to any show when school and my wallet allow (and sometimes even when they don't). Any new people I meet at school, I toss the Susan idea out there, and -- more times than not -- even the most badass of people will fall for her music. Next up, King of Prussia. Sweet.

I don't know which one I did first. I sing them a cappella (as you will hear on the tribute CD). I've sung a couple others for friends in order to introduce them to Susan's music, like "Society Ball" and the Boomer Song, but never on a stage. I also tried to figure out "Snow White" long ago before I had kids. I was taking guitar lessons. The chords were too hard for me, and my teacher wasn't good enough to figure them out either. I tried later on to do "St. Mary's of Regret", and Susan tried to help me when I asked her about it after a concert once, but I was just too hopeless...
