Home and Thanks!

I'm back in Seattle, Washington...which means the tour is over for the time-being! It's been fun. There were several locations I wasn't able to get to due to schedule conflicts and time constraints. I hope to get around to those folks in a future trip!

I'd like to thank each songwriter that participated in this project by donating their time and extending me their hospitality! Each of you is a unique talent and I appreciate your time.

There are some additional people I'd like to thank, each of whom contributed in their own way to help make this tour a success - Barry Markey, Brent Magstadt, Sherri Thal, Shannon Donnally Spasova, the folks at NSAI, Marc-Alan Barnette, Tonya Hood, Chuck Shute, Mom, Dad - THANK YOU!

Suzanne Reed - San Diego, California

I visited with Suzanne Reed in a San Diego suburb during an abnormally cold and windy patch of weather, but my host was full of warmth! We had a great time and I also enjoyed meeting her talented sons Matt and Mike.

Suzanne works at Taylor guitars and has been a performing artist since the early 70's, primarily playing cover songs. In recent years she started writing her own material and it has developed into a passion. She talks about the transition to performing her own songs in her interview below - check it out!

And see Suzanne performing her original song "Big Picture" --
