Hi Amy -- thanks for the comment, sorry we won't see you tonight... Jeanne & I are trying out new places, that's always fun...
But it was SO nice to see you last weekend, and Jim's show was so much fun... thanks for your hospitality, and I'll look forward to seeing you soon! xo, Sue
thanks Amy! Yeah, we're trying out a couple open mics at places that are too far to go often (for me, at least), but that we've wanted to try for awhile. I'm getting over a cold and have to decide today if I can sing well enough to make it worth my while. I think I can...<br /><br />Be well!<br />Jeanne<br /><br />
