"McDermott possesses one of the most assured and mellifluous female voices on the contemporary folk scene. She’s also penned some of the most remarkable songs of the past 50 years, ranks in the first echelon of songwriters and is not timid about infusing her poetry with strong messages."

YOU PROBABLY DON'T REMEMBER BUT ANYWAY...YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE IT TO CHARLESTON FOR FASHION WEEK IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
Hi Suzanne glad to hear you won't be shot in the British Isles with your surname! Honor Probataque Virtus means 'Honour and Approved Valour'. My cousin's been doing some research into the history of our name and I'll be posting some of it the myspace page soon. Regards from McD.
Suzanne, thanks for the add and for the comment. I greatly enjoyed your own tracks; "Roswell" is especially haunting. All best to you for the new year.
Greetings Suzanne!
It's nice to meet you! I'm really enjoying your music! You'll have to tell me about your time at the Barnes...
I'm sure you're familiar with Matisse's "Joy of Life." It's one of my favorite paintings by my favorite artist.
