I saw a bit in the New York times last year about the five performances to remember Johhny Cuningham. I had never heard of Susan, but was intrigued and went to a neat little theater in Sellersville, Pa where I fell in love with her and her music. They played more conventional, wonderful pieces. I went with my daughter Moira and her friend to the show in NYC last week and hear the most hauntingly beautiful voice and music I've ever heard. Thank God for Irish, The Irish, Irish song and Susan.
