Susan Herndon

Greetings!

Hope this finds you well, as summer leaves its trail...

Have enjoyed everybody coming out-- it's just not the same without you,

thanks for gracing us with your presence!

Now up north for some gigs; there's still time-- you can make it.

Here are the details.

xxooo

************************************************************************************

Barley Street Tavern. (2735 N 62nd St, Omaha, Nebraska.) Thursday, 21 August, 9 pm.

In Omaha now... the gig was last night... didn't get this out in time... nevertheless,

just letting you know, 'twas well worth the 8 hour drive. Good vibes up here. And lots of corn.

The Potter's Wheel. (205 South Main, Ottawa, Kansas.) Friday, 22 August, 7 pm.

Now back to Kansas. And more corn. Toto's not with me, but the Princess Jackie PI Freckle-Butt Shadow

Goddess of Joy God the Destroyer Snuggle-Bunny of Love is. (And not happy she got

kicked out of the motel last night.)

Tavern on the Plaza. (912 Walnut Street, Coffeyville, Kansas.) Saturday, 23 August, 7 pm.

Yep, right there, across the square where the Dalton gang got shot down in front of one of the two banks

they were holding up. Thinking I won't be holding up any banks this trip... and two banks? I wish I had

such initiative. One, I might could do.

Sam's Cellar. (101 North Wood St., Neosho, Missouri.) Tuesday, 26 August, 7 pm.

Back to Sam's and my home Show Me state. Hoping to see all my buddies up there this trip.

And the celllar is like an oasis in the town square-- you should see!

Lola's at the Bowery. (Main and Brady, Tulsa.) Thursday, 28 August, 11 & 25 September;

Wednesday, 3 September; Friday, 19 September; Sunday, 28 September, 6:30 pm.

With the band and special guests! Having a great time playing this gig with the guys and you all coming out.

Lola's is a beautiful place. Nice crew. Great food. And stuffed olives in your martinis.

We're gearing up for our Flying French Red Dirt Road Show. You come, too.

Red Rock Canyon. (91st and Riverside Drive, Jenks.) Friday, 29 August, 12 September

6:30 pm. Not really a canyon out there, but the Arkansas River is quite nice and there's lots of hooplah

when the sun sets... makes you think you're in the Keys. Without the tropical storm part.

French Hen. (71st and Yale, Tulsa.) 30 August, 13 & 20 September, 7 pm. Aaaaahhhhh...

my home away from home. And when I'm in town, they let me come back to play.

En plus, c'est presque la seule occasion pour moi de parler un peu de Francais ici.

Grape Ranch Winery. (Off I-40, 6 miles south of Okemah.) Sunday, 31 August & 14 September

2 pm. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh, my other home away from home. Only this one serves the Frozen Rose.

Divas/Performing Arts Center. (3rd and Cincinnati, Tulsa.) Saturday, 6 September, 8 pm;

Sunday, 7 September, 2 pm. Liddy Doenges Theatre. I guess if you sing in this town and

stick around long enough, you turn into a diva. Note: I am NOT a diva... but go ahead, peel me a grape!

The proceeds for this event go to a good cause, H.O.P.E.

Central Library. (400 Civic Center, Tulsa.) Wednesday, 24 September, 12 pm.

They've entitled this musical series in September, "Words and Music". So, I've

decided I'll be playing my tunes-- of words set to music.

An Evening with Tracy Letts and Mitch Albom/Performing Arts Center.

(3rd and Cincinnati, Tulsa.) Friday, September 26, 6:45 pm.Chapman Music Hall.

Playing a few songs to kick off this year's Celebration of Books. Who are Tracy Letts and

Mitch Albom, you ask? Why, they're big-wig Pulitzer prize winning, best-selling authors, of course.

And, me???! I think I've read a Pulitzer prize winning book before...

Celebration of Books/The Fine Art of Songwriting. (OSU-Tulsa, 700 North Greenwood, Ave, Tulsa.)

Saturday, 27 September, 9:30 am. I'm on this panel on songwriting... with John Wooley, Steve Ripley, Jim Halsey,

and Davit Souders. It's all still a mystery to me... I don't think I know much about songwriting... but don't tell them!
