I met you many years ago when you were touring with the Paul Winters. I was a friend of Betty Franco and met you when you were in Seattle those many years ago.
For several years now I have tried to remember your name, having lost my albums a long time ago and lost contact with Betty.
I am so excited to have finally remembered and now have some catching up to do.
I am friends with a wonderful writer, composer and performer of Native American Music. His name is Randy Granger and have often thought of you when I am with him and it was driving me nuts that I couldn't tell him about you by name.

Hi Susan, still fresh with memories of the Kindlings Fest. I am reliving all moments. I'm sharing to my "musical" friends about you. Your selfless offering! Your generous outpouring of yourself to us all. It's what I always strive to do when i perform. I tell my students all the time that the greatest performer is the most generous one! And you are that! I WILL NEVER EVER SING "ROW YOUR BOAT" EVER THE SAME AGAIN! Hahaha! And will never hear BLACK BIRD the same ever again. When you were breathing in & out just before Black Bird, i felt like you were going through all your experiences in life, all the learnings, all the triumphs, the hurts & victories. You were sharing everything you have, everything you are. At least that's how i felt. You are such a giver!!! And i thank you from the bottom of my heart for being an example! I immediately told my spiritua family about you. I said in the end, I encourage all of us to give of ourselves & worship the greatest Creator with abandon the way you sang that Black Bird. An outpouring, an unselfish offering. You've helped me to release more my sound, my voice, my self! GOD BLESS YOU, WONDERFUL BIRD! You are astonishing!

I recently bought a recording that had you singing, "Beauty And The Beast" on it. I was so moved by your wonderful voice and phrasings that I wept like a child after hearing you! I cannot sufficiently express myself to you but that one song alone has made me want to purshase every album you've ever produced. I thank you so very much Ms Osborn, it is truly an honour to listen to you!
Bravo!

It's a cold and rainy winter in Taipei. I pulled out my "Susan" CD, and bathed in the warmth of the music. Then the sun came out.
For me, the most beautiful song you've ever sung is 'Mystery' from Paul Winter's Missa Gaia, but I hope you don't think that was easy to choose among all the other choices!

Dear Susan,
I played the cassette tape! of your Signature album today for the first time in years and had to find out where you are and what you are doing. (It inspires me so much!)
I am so glad that you are alive and well and that at least the people of Japan recognize your magnificence. Also,
it is wonderful to me that you are living my dream of making music with your husband.
I'm so happy to find your website and plan to be buying several albums. I also hope to attend one of your Silence & Song seminars as soon as possible.
Much love & blessings,

Thank you for sharing Bright Angel on this site. It has been many years since I last heard your soaring, beautiful song (long-lost cassette tape over the radio...Fate of the Earth Concert?1982?) and played it again and again for my neighbor, who found it moving as well. After all this time, It still brings tears and sends my heart flying to the Canyon and the vast space that songs send spirits to.Thank you.

Dear Susan,
I will be visitng Orcas Island Jan. 11-14 for an appointment with the Orcas Center and I came across your website through my research on the community. I noticed that you were the lead singer for the Paul Winter Consort and I am wondering if you happen to know a friend of mine, musician Rhonda Larson. I believe she was also part of the Paul Winter Consort at one time and we worked together while I was Executive Director of the South Haven Center for the Arts. I was just curious if you have ever worked with her. Merry Christmas and I wish I was able to attend your Christmas Eve performance!

Hello Susan: I know you from the Chinook days - 25 years ago. Always loved the Paul Winter singing and you! Saw your name in a book about Bali. " Dragons in the Bathtub".
We were just visiting Bali and had a great time there with friends from the USA who moved there. I am happy to know that your singing has continued and I hope your life has been wonderful - you deserve that! Love Anne

Lay down your burden was my first experience with your music. It has stuck with me 30 years and is part of my own search as a church musician.
I feel the journey of 30 years ago has suddenly come into focus again having found your site. If you are ever in Toronto I would love to journey with you a few moments.

Hi: In spring cleaning, came across a box of cassettes and found "Susan" and "Signature" - wonderful, soulfull music that brought back good memories. I'm so glad to have "rediscovered" you via the internet. Will try and get some of your newer music. I'm sure it's as good as ever. All my best, Nancy

Dear Susan
It went to the Yamagata Gassan concert.
I had cried at the mere sight of Susan's smile when Susan showed up.
Of course, the singing voice was impressed, too.
When the book was signed, Susan gripped the power stone that I had had.
This stone is always put on near the window.
I think that I take it today.
It returned from the door to taking and it brought it.
"What stone?"asked by Susan,
I answered, "It is a stone gotten from the space alien".
I think that Susan came from another star to purify the earth.
My soul and power stone were completely healed by Susan.
We wish to express our gratitude to you.
I'm sorry in unskilled sentences.
Thank you for reading.

Hello Susan...
Lovely webpage, lovelly music.
Do you remember Victoria, BC - Ken and Renee.
Their friend Larry - lost and looking, heading to an ashram in Arizona.
The Kreskin Show phoning us in the street and describing us - still peculiar.
Was that Seattle?
Your presence has remained an inspiration to me to this day - your love and humour always brought warmth.
Oh, and your music's not bad either...
Thank you

Hi Susan - I send you love and good wishes, all the way from Ecuador! Here's a "postcard" for you and David:
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

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

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,

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!
Joy Erik, 13200 SW Aragon St., Beaverton, Oregon (Phone: 503-643-6261).
PS: Just curious . . . do you plan any classes in the summer?
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.

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,

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,
Lisa Jackert

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

Since first heaing you with Paul Winter at The Cathedral in NY, early 80s, and getting chills on your singing of Lay Down Your Burden, I and my wife have been tremendous fans. Somehow, lost track of you and have just found you again. Looking forward to obtaining your recordings and enjoying hearing your beautiful voice. Thanks for many beautiful moments. Philip

It's a gray foggy day here today, so still and restive. Creative imagination expressive in abundance. Ah.
My friend here in Duncan has been to Iona and shared her experience. Ah.

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.
