Dear Ebbie,

Years back I formed a duet with a gal named Susan. We practised for a few gigs--did maybe five or six songs together. She was absolutely petrified to get on stage. She did anyway. She BLEW the audiences away. We arranged a few songs (one I recall had the lines, "When time is stolen it flies, it flies; lovers leave in disguise, disguise . . . ."

Once she started singing, she was awesome. I knew she was nervous because she stared at the mike for all five songs, and I think the audience knew, too. BUT, they loved her anyway. (I think we got a few encores, and we had to repeat a song because we only knew a half dozen together. Lost track of her. She had gone to England. Hope she's still doing some singing where she is. Haven't heard from her for about 35 years.)

I sent you a PM.
