Hello, Susan! Web Browsing on a Friday night and found this enchanting website. Very cool. I sold my business and "retired" two months back. Busier than ever and still trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I grow up. Still in Mpls children are now 23=22=19 and 16, all doing well as is Judy. My best!

Glad to see your website. We were music students together at USD when Paul Winter came to the theater auditorium for the first time.
You sang at the club on east Cherry - leading to the interstate. I forget the name. Susan Van Heuvelen sang in those parts too, then. How lucky we were.
Best to you from beautiful Boulder.

About 1979, you gave a private concert to my son's mother and me. You sang "Lay down your burden", the dragon doesn't live here anymore. We were in the basement at Dugan's Deli in Ames,Iowa. One of the most spectacular spiritual moments in my life. I will remember that forever, Thank you. Hope you are doing well, sincerely, Daniel Kucera

Hello Susan,
Singing with you, The Voice of the Body, at Naropa many years ago changed my life. I want to study with you again. When and where are you teaching workshops? I would come to you!!!
September 1, 2008
dearest Susan,
it is your old friend from Vermillion, still living in Rotterdam, wanting to get in touch. I was thinking of you this morning, and googled you, and HERE YOU ARE. LET'S GET IN TOUCH. LOVE, MARY

Wow. What can I say. I found your music via Microsoft's Zune library of songs and I am just knocked out. Still Life is the first disc I listened to. It is outstanding. I will spread your name and music to all of my friends. They, too, will love your voice. Thanks to God for you! And thank you for giving my ears pleasure!

Susan, Do you remember those days at the beginning when we met at my cousin Harold's ( Feinstein) apt.in the village? It was the one and possibly only time I met him- he read my chart for the first time... We met again at St. John The Divine one time about 20 years ago at one of your concerts. Boy have you been busy since then! I'll be seeing you at 4:30 A.M. for your solstice concert in NYC. I'll be there with my partner Debbie and will try to meet you and say hello once more.
GOOD FOR YOU !!! -Helene

Are you referring to Bright Angel trail in the grand canyon?
Can you tell me anything else about the inspiration behind your song?
It is so beautiful!

Greetings Susan, from Pam and Dan Darling. It's good to connect with you again (lovely web site)...fond memories of the farm in Ct. and hearing your voice in the barn. Now we have our own in NE Kansas. I wish I would have known you were in the Orcas. I visited a friend in Friday Harbor 2 years ago. I want to hear your voice again, so will procure your music right away! Much love, Pam

How much I remember loving you so much in Missa Gaia at Stanford University, and Harmonia Mundi at U.C.

So here's the thought train...Sat. AM, barely above zero, beautiful sunny day. Listening to russian music on public radio. Thought of our Paul Winter CD and you. Remembered your note, and had responded. But I also recall that my web dude told me that I can't respond to notes through the site, so you never got it!
I thought you hadn't written back because I told you I had a CD out myself, and you didn't want to get dragged into THAT!
I hope you are well! Would love to talk!
Of course, this is our 40th high school reunion...
Peace and love to all, David

Hi Susan, I always wondered what became of you. I was Joanne"s neighbor on Bald Mtn in So Dak. We had some fun times at the Old Style -we were pretty good dancers back then! I remember u gave Joanne that old Chevy of yours. Do you remember me? I always remember the song Lay down your burden. I was blown away by it! I hope there is a way to catch up with you. Congrats on all your wonderful accomplishments! Your blast from the past,
Kathleen

Dear Susan, Greetings of Love and Appreciation!
I was fortunate to have taken several of your trainings and workshops. I came to Orcas at least two times and I went on the Grand Canyon voyage with you and Brooke Medicine Eagle, and about one or two workshops you did with Angeles Arrien.
I was thinking of you (again) today and I'm
delighted I found your website. I live now in
the Portland Metro area (Beaverton, Oregon).
I've added my name to your email list. I am
hopeful we will meet again. Do you ever come to Portland, Oregon?
You and your music, and your music therapy with me, will forever be in my heart. I enjoy your soulful singing so much.
Smile, songs, and musical hugs to you!

PS: Just curious . . . do you plan any classes in the summer?

『桜の樹が教えてくれた』、 有り難う御座いました。
m(_ _)m 感動しました。
さくら や りんご の花は 時おり、 晴れた 暖かな 日が続くと 秋や冬に咲くことがありますが、ほんの数個 花が咲くくらいで、数日後に 寒さが戻ったり その花が 散ったら 終わってしまいます。
SUSAN の桜は、季節外れに数日咲いたというだけに留まらず、
次の桜のシーズンまで！
半年もの長い期間！
雪にも負けず♪
なんと 長く、 逞しく、 咲き続けたことでしょう！ ！
そこに どれほどの愛が溢れていたか 想像しきれません
本の中で、
特別な桜の樹の物語でもないし、

Dear Susan,
I cannot begin to describe how it feels to have found your website. I have carried with me a now well worn audio cassette of your album "Susan" because there are some songs on there that speak deeply to me. After reading your page on Singing Without Words, I now understand that part of it is the depth of feeling you put into singing.
I would be most interested in learning if the songs on that album are available anywhere else - especially "The Promise" which has soothed me in the past and is now helping me through some very deep grief over the death of my husband, Larry, 6 months ago.
Dear Susan, please keep singing and bringing us your lovely words and music.
Peace,
Carol

Hi Susan!
I just received a Christmas card from Sparks and she mentioned that you have published a book. Unfortunately, I can't make out her handwriting very well, and can't discern the title/topic. I'd love to check it out. If you have time, shoot me a quick email with this info.
I love your website. Are you still doing workshops?
Life is full for my wife, Joanne and I. As I mentioned in the letter enclosed with our Christmas card, our life pretty much revolves around the needs of our 5 year old daughter, Kiara, who we are raising (This is Corey's daughter).
Please give my best to David and any of the Seeds folks you may be in touch with. I'd love to get your newsletter and catch a concert if you are going to be in the Northeast.
Take Care ~ Peter

Hi Susan,
Every time I hear you sing "Lay Down Your Burden" from your work with Paul Winter Consort, chills run up my spine and I stop in my tracks to soak it in. Absolutely beautiful vocals, the kind that should be radiated out into space for the rest of the Universe to hear, to show the rest of the Universe how wonderful life can be down here on Earth.

play the track over immediately, this time to also note the beauty of the lyrics. Thank you!!

changes, I'm moving into Studio Two as Corrin and family move into the house while they build. Mornings of watching and listening - the quiet time before the glorious waking of birds - so precious and just full of Life and amazement. My love for this experience and memories of you are bliss. All the wondrous versions of Life continue as ever.

Hi Susan, This is a another blast from the past...Iowa State University to be exact. I was one of Johnny Major's boys on the football squad in the early 70's...didn't leave me much time to play in any bands...so you and Rural were my soundtrack down at Genuine John's! (Out of the Clear Blue Sky) It wasn't till after my football career that I would finally have a band on the road - and it was a dream come true for me when you got up with us at Dan's Back Porch in Spearfish, S.D. and belted out "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" !!! (well... it was the sign of the times and the Black Hills after all).
Thank you so much for those precious memories Susan.

Dear Susan,
Many years ago you sang at a Creative arts therapy conference. I'll never forget it. I have loved your voice and work since the Pual Winter days, but I was inspired by your ability to sing freely. At that time a friend of mine purchased your CD "Susan" which I did not (my bad) and since then I have tried to find it, but know it's out of print. I have been looking for the song "Bright Angel" or "Bright Angel Falls" I don't know which, from that recording, and wondered if you could give me any information about how to find it. I am a music therapist, and think it could be useful in my end of life work.
Thanks.

Dear Susan,
Yesterday a man back from Japan played "Sen no kaze ni natte" on a radio. Listening to the song, I cried and thought what a beautiful love song. I don't know why it is so touching. It expresses care, concern and love, not limited to man and woman, but applied to all such as friends or family members. I then e mailed my friend in Japan, told her the words I heard "Watashi ni ohaka no mae de, nakanai de kudasai" and asked her to find me the CD. Then I found out that it's originally your song. May I express my appreciation and thanks for one of the wonderful song I've ever heared. This really makes life worth living.
I probably will get your CD from my friend soon. I asked her to send 5 pieces so that I can share and give them to ones that I care.
Thank you again for bringing good and wonderful thing to this world.
Best regards,
Benchawan in Bangkok, Thailand

Dear Susan,
I heard you sing years ago at a Music Therapy Conference, or maybe it was a Creative Arts Therapy Conference. I am still a music therapist/singer and songwriter. I am glad to have found that I can buy the sheet music to "
Sound Over All Water" from the Pelagos Web page. I have been wanting to sing that for a long time. Thank you for your voice, thoughts and spirit.
Peace,

Hey Sue, I think we probably met at Dugan's a
couple of times. I hung out with the ISU Daily
crowd at the time. Took pictures for the Daily.
I remember you singing a couple of times before
we demonstrated against the war. Glad you are
doing so well. Always loved your voice. Do you still sing, The Dragon Doesn't
Live Here Anymore(sp), anymore? Best wishes
to you, will order some albums when I have some
extra cash. Peace.

Susan--
It's been a long and winding road since Seeds of Singing on board Crusader, and in that magical spot on Orcas. Thanks for "seeing through me" back then. Life is good, and I'm glad to see yours is rich and full as well. After leaving the northwest for 11 years in Hawaii I've settled in the Bay Area, I have a beautiful daughter who has an amazing voice, and I'm about to be happily (re)-married for the first time. I still remember your wisdom and your song, and I'm still singing.
Much love to you and David. I hope our paths cross again in time.

Der Susan,
I was so moved by the songs on your web site. Your workshops and vision for the voice is truly mesmorizing. I wish to know more as I am currently working with a composer in Seattle, David Paul Mesler, singing predominantly American poetry but I love the jazz standards and am just discovering how to communicate more intently the story in song.
Your web site is an inspiration - I can only imagine meeting you and singing with you. I live near Seattle on Bainbridge Island and would love to attend a vocal workshop on Orcus this summer if you will be scheduling any.
Yours,
Barbara Hume

Greetings from Wisconsin! Went searching for Nine Logterman and ended on your site. I can still hear your voice in my head from thirty years ago in Vermillion. Our daughter Ana currently lives in Olympia, WA where she's a student at Edgewood. She's also an artist and musician, currently studying China, and will heading there this May. Next time I visit I hope you're in the area. I'd love to hear you sing again. And do you still dance? I love the things you're involved with. We knew you lived in that general part of the world, I believe via Eva Isaksen. Perhaps a conversation over tea some day.

Susan, we are so looking forward to your Victorian Valley Chapel holiday concerts this year, but cannot find the dates listed yet on your website.
3 years ago, with Kentaro at the grand piano, we witnessed our first Christmas concert and were blown away! It was serene, and spiritual, and magical, and breath-taking. We were touched to the soul. Though the last two years with the talent of Martin Lund, we have enjoyed your concert, the jazzy tempo cannot match our initial experience, when you slowly walked into the hushed chapel and with Kentaro's piano talent, shared with us, something so special.
We look forward to 2006 at Victorian Valley Chapel with you.

Hi Dear One, Are you singing in a new way? I recently bought a guitar at a pawn shop. New strings and clipped fingernails and new sounds at my finger tips.
As the new studio manifests I have been taking pictures for a little show called "The Art of Construction" because everywhere I see forms, spaces, colours, textures, changes to the landscape that I hadn't imagined, rearranged objects that now catch my attention, stuff that will not last as they are, and everything a metaphor for unspeakable truth.
Your being is one with all.
Love, Rene

Have searched for "Susan" CD for 10 years since a "friend" borrowed mine and never returned it. Still missing the joy it gave every listen! "Sound Over All Waters" is my only taste for now! Love the 'gospel-like' arrangement. I am a 60-year young jazz and blues afficionado. I mainly wanted to thank you for your sharing your soul in your music.

One of the most awe-inspiring evenings of my adult life was hearing Susan sing, David Darling play the cello, and Chungaling Al Huang "dance" Tai Chi, all at the same time, at Esalen--in 1991. It was breathtaking, in the truest sense of the word.
I still happily play Susan's tapes and realized today that there must be more--and indeed, there are newer recordings, which I've already ordered.
I'd love to learn whether you have any performances planned for the the Southwest.
While we're finally getting monsoon rains to quench the drought, we're still thirsty for soul-filling music.

My dear friend Susana Sharp, formerly of Orcas Is. now living in Portland, introduced me several years ago to your music and your lovely presence when we attended one of your annual Orcas concerts in what I think was an old church or community building. I've been a devoted fan ever since and when I heard your latest (for me) CD, Only One, I absolutely rose in Love all over again. I've shared it and your Reunion CD with a friend for whom it has been life-changing and she is now going to pass on the Gift to others in her Circle.
My you be Blessed All Ways with the Love you manifest so beautifully through your Being.
With Love, Stephen

HI, Susan-- I took a workshop with you in Ashfield , MA, many years ago-- since then, I've continued writing, loved the theme of writing non-language choruses. I'm coming to the Northwest at the end of July for a couple gigs and am hoping to make it to Seattle and around. Would love to see you/sing with you. My website is http://sonicbids.com/karenbrooks if you want to hear what I've been singing and doing. Here's to music that makes us one! Thanks again, Karen (Brooks)

I recently repurchased "common ground" and hearing "lay down your burden" again for the first time in years completely knocked my socks off. i would like to have one of your own recordings and will browse the local music stores here in Portland OR. I also have a friend here who met you back in CT. as he had some affiliation with the consort, paul briggs.... he said you are one of the most amazing women he has ever met. hope to hear you live here in the NW soon.

I guess I'll add a note from the past, too, Susan. 'Way back to your Iowa State University years....singing at candle passing in the lounge, just starting up a song-fest in a dorm room. My memories are fond ones of your days at ISU. When we got our first CD player, the first CD I bought was one of yours back in the mid- 80's. Keep singing and bringing joy to all!!

I first saw you perform at Orchestra Hall with Paul Winter. I own all of your CDs available in the USA and am ordering your new one. I also had my Susan tape converted to CD. I think your voice is wonderful and your interpretation of songs to be exceptional . Thanks for the newsletter.

I have been listening mesmerized to your latest music on this amazing (to me) computer and can't tear myself away to go to bed. Our conversation earlier today, the bio and deeply revealing sharings on your website have touched me as I would never have anticipated. You are indeed a beautiful person as well as a remarkable artist. I hope that you offer your class at Rowe or Omega sometime in the near future so that I may experience for myself what you so eloquently describe. A heartfelt thank you! Elaine

Susan - you and I were the rave female vocalists in Sioux Falls in the 1970's. I would love to hear from you. I am helping to produce a benefit concert in SF on Sunday, Seprember 23, 2006. Proceeds go to the Music Museum at the newly purchased "Stockman's Bar" for this purpose. Would love to have you participate. The wonderfully facilitated Brandon Performing Arts Center has already been donated for the show. Please contact me. Let's chat? I am sooooooo impressed and proud of you. And, for old times sake I still hum "Singin' A New Song." It is my favorite memory of you. God bless you. Shannon Collins 605-334-2372

Hi from Vancouver island, dear Susan. we are delighted to see you returning to the Living Room and giving some singing workshops. Not knowing how to cut and paste etc, I would love to see an "email to a friend" possibility on your site. We return to Orcas early May for a short stay and then much longer after August. I'm hoping for more workshop dates (maybe in the summer?) and that our daughter, Kelly will be in touch with you...Thank you for sharing the beauty and for being...Love Lois (and Len, too)

Dear Susan,
What a tremendous smile I have to see your face- on the Web! Many seasons have passed since our journeys during the Common Ground tours. I am well and playing and singing and wish you well too! I would love to catch up again, dear Susan. Your voice is legend among those who remember those days, and there are many, I find, as I tell my tales of those times, who light up with joy at the memories of those concerts. Beautiful website. Your voice still fills me, and the words of encouragement through friends. Hoping to talk with you again, many blessings to you,

Susan,
I have enjoyed your music for many years and am enjoying your music still. The web site is a momentary touch with your music. I noticed in reading the other comments that several people have the "Susan" CD as does a close friend of mine. However I notice that it is not for sale anywhere. What is the possibility of having it available? Please let me know if this is possible I would buy it in a instant. I remember contacting you several years ago and you mentioned that you could not release the CD. I hope that issue has been resolved. I want to be able to have the CD.

Susan, I'm so glad that I finally got the link to your music and site...much water has flowed under the bridge since our hikes up the mountains and Hearny Peak so long ago in good old South Duck..This site is spectacular, and your generous offering of selections via MP3 keeps me from biting at the bit while waiting the arrival of your albums.. Thanks for the Music..I always knew that you would continue to grow spiritually and musically, but the depth and richness of your offerings here is beyond any expectations I had..Looking forward to some communication with you in the near future..Warm Regards, Harlan Busch

Hi Susie,
Wheezer sent me your link, I'm really excited about it and I'm going to send it to other kith and kin. I loved your photo gallery, especially seeing Grandma Clark and your mom. Have a wonderful Christmas, Love, Kit

I was present years ago at Missa Gaia given at the Stanford University Chapel. Most of the audience were women (and spouses) from Creative Initiative/ Beyond War and we had just completed a three day International Women's Convocation to abolish war. I have never forgotten your beautiful singing and your beautiful presence. Whenever I listen to Missa Gaia, I long for that divine evening. The holy feminine surely flowed through you that night!
Many thanks, Carol Veder

Susan - What fun to hear from you, at Toni's house even. Interesting synchronisity is that her answering machine has been disconnected for a while, until today around 1:00. Your message was the first to be received, and came through loud and clear. I called your number and hope you received my message. And, now you have our e-mail address too. Toni's friend Betty told me that she "knew of " you but didn't really know you. So, I'm really impressed that she thought to mention to you that I am her friend Toni"s "personal assistant/caregiver. I expect that Betty is an"elder", as Toni is 84 and I imagine them to be close in age. I've visited your web site recently, as I do periodically to see what you are currently doing, but I didn't leave any comments then. I'm eager to have more/all of your recordings - what I have ride with me in the car, and inspire me regularly. But, your new work sounds awesome - I just don't know where to begin to expand. The relationship with Japan must be a wonderful experience. Has Budhism become an important part of your spiritual path? I have had several dreams that I know are calling me to experience that truth, and walking meditation has been a tremendous practice of mindfulness and meditative creativity nurture for me in my journey. I am so glad that Betty called us together again, and await further communication. Do you hear from Taffy, Stout, or any others from our highschool days? I hear from Taffy about once a year, and both of her children were living in CA as of last Christmas.
I also heard an interveiw with David on Public radio. He is, I assume, the fisherman/poet that was interveiwed. I enjoyed listening to the experiences of living on the water, and the inspration that it offers to the poet in one's soul.
I remember when Susan visited us in Souix Falls, and insisted that Greg and I go out and enjoy some non-parenting time while she stayed with our children, Bill and Laura. That was such a generous and thoughtful gesture.
I'm eager to re-connect in greater depth, which is where the virtues of e-mail are inadequate for me. Hopefully, we will find a time for talking, maybe even visiting again soon. Our home phone is 831.384.0398. Between 9 and 4 I'm usually at Toni's. Evenings are usually reliable home times, especially after 9PM or so. And I'll try your number as well. Great Blessings to you!

Hi, Susan. Have been listening to your lovely voice on the 70s Revisited VHS. I'm converting the two tapes to DVD for Boyd. Would you like a copy? Easy for me to make copies for you.
Great to discover your site. Was in Sioux Falls for my 50th Augie class reunion. Listened to the Acoustic Christmas folks rehearse for their upcoming performances. Lots of hugs. And memories, and love.
I am now living on the Big Island of Hawai'i, thoroughly loving getting back to my roots, working and caring for the soil and its rooted relatives. Would love to see you. Any chance the two of you might come to Hawai'i? I've lots of room for you- and lots to do. I'm fully retired- was snorkeling with the manta rays last Thanksgiving at Kona. And the humpies are now returning to our waters for the winter.
with lots of aloha and heartwarming memories,
JD
