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 Wonderful Muse!!! Yes it is 3:43AM and I am wondering around in cyberspace ---- as always comforted by your wonderful creativity and beauty! Thank you for the peace in the still of the night.
love,
Nancy

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 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

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

We recently visited Orcas Island and were excited by your paintings in Darvill's Rare Print Shop. Although they weren't open, the owner next door at the book shop, called the new owners who were coming to the shop afterall. I was elated as I've been looking for some art for our apartment in Brooklyn Heights. I'm pleased to say I was particularly taken with "Turtleback Mountain" (where we were also staying) and it's being delivered today! Please let me know when you update the photo gallery and/or if you send out any announcements about openings. Although we might not be in the area again, I look forward to more beautiful art by David.

My dear old friend. We have lost touch since the Litchfield days...great memorys of "the farm", the Consort, the Darling family together and the music there. Our family is well in the KC area and we have our own farm on the prairie. Your voice is forever in my head (I still listen to "Susan")as is your wonderful heart. We might be in your neck of the woods next summer and will let you know. Beautiful website!

Dear Soulful Susan, My husband Mark and I had our hearts lifted when we first heard you sing in the early 80's with Paul Winter in Seattle for the Missa Gaia concert.........your voice just lifted us....we chose to play "MYSTERY" during a slide show at our wedding at Camp Long in Seattle in April of 2004......I saw that you have Sound and Silence seminars.....in Japan and Santa Monica...do you ever have them up on Orcas?????....Mark and our daughter Maya Summermoon help with Orca Whale research here in the South Sounds.....her pictures of the two new calves born on Solstice '04 and that next day are up on the whale museum's website.....I feel such a peaceful healing "WIND" in my soul listening to your music.....and have always loved singing with friends....not to put on a performance, but just for the joy of letting it 'come through'....so I am curious about what you do at the seminars and whether you offer them here in the area....and does a person have to be a 'trained singer' in your seminars???.....Thank you for your holy healing contribution to our world.....Louise, Mark and Maya Summermoon Sears

Susan, I've enjoyed your voice since the Winter Consort days. I noticed, though, that your discography left out your work with Ralf Illenberger, on his "Solleil " album, which I have always thought of as one of your strongest vocal performances. A clip of that on the site would be great.
