susan gibson: singer-songwriter

We had a few hours to kill in Lenexa KS so we hit the city park with a
kite Marian got at the truckstop. I think there were gusts up to 80mph
that day.
Our first attempts to get the kite in the air before reading the
directions were unsuccessful, but I had no idea how potentially
dangerous.

Be careful on yer way to the show!!

At murphy's in Memphis.

I think jimmy & Marian might be related.

Getting to play with jimmy Davis' band. I love me some banjo players--Richard rules & rolls.

The Gougers from Austin tx showed up to play a set after Jimmy Davis' Band @ murphy's in Memphis

In the bathrooms @ murphy's in Memphis.

Elizabeth Wills, Marian Brackney & I at poor David's in Dallas.

There's not near as much live music here as i'd heard.
No Elvis memorabilia.
NO BBQ

Recording the song "day unlike any other" (song monica smart, Mike Hearne, & I started on the LJT cruise & finished in Nashville) @ rick west's studio (wrote "trouble in the fields" for nancy Griffith)

From the bathroom of Neil's in Memphis. Happy birthday Marian!

On the way to Nashville...

On the wall at Jed & Kayla Zimmerman 's downtown loft. I call it truth in advertising. Also the first picture I've sent from the iPhone.

I'm sitting in my front yard on the first perfect day in a long time. As JPO and I e-wrestle for band width of my wireless internet signal, she looks past me and says, "There are a lot of bees over there", nodding to my hummingbird feeder. It has been up all winter with leftover sugar water in it. I'm reminded of my mother's second "mother-daughter talk" about the birds and the bees.

She told me, "When you are making your own hummingbird food, what you need to know is that if you make it too diluted it won't attract the birds. If you make it too strong, you will have a lot of bees around."

Ain't that the truth, Mom?

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I'm going to go work on my sugar/water ratio now.
