John Lilley at Steel City Coffeehouse, Phoenixville Pa.
After the flash debacle, John decided to hire a soundman to represent the best interests of the band for these shows, and settled on an old acquaintance of mine, Sparky Costello, for the gig. It has to be said that Sparky did a great job of tweaking the system at steel city to handle significantly more than it was set up to handle, and although none of us walked offstage after soundcheck feeling terribly optimistic about how things would hold up for the show, Sparky did a great job of containing things (I only remember one instance of squealing or howling during the whole set), and really made the old girl sing once things were underway. Sparky did an admirable job of dialing everything in on a system that was designed, by and large, for acoustic acts and smaller, much lower output bands than the one it had to handle on saturday night. I know john was concerned at the point that we broke for dinner, but Sparky is pretty intuitive, and he did a good job of navigating the waters, and by the time we were finished, I think he knew where the hot buttons were and was poised to react if he had to.

Sparky is currently managing Country / Pop Recording Artist Suzanne Dee Gorman

Suzanne just recorded a new song in memory of New York and 9/11. The song is called "We'll Remember".We can not forget what these people have done for us. This song speaks in words to share with the world that we care, and we love and hold what is precious to us. "You made us believe something sacred could be found in the midst of great destruction all around". Yes they made us believe that even through the hell that war brings to human kind, these are the people who give their strength to hold up our peace. "They bring comfort to our souls" just knowing they are there. Take time to remember them. Take time to listen. Take time to see through your hearts who it is that protects you day and night, during the worst of times. These people taught us the meaning of a hero. To the one's who gave their lives for us and the one's who are still with us today, We'll Remember, a lesson we're not likely to forget.
