Don, don't impugn Ethel Merman! That woman had pipes like nobody's business! She is in my personal favorites list--a triumvirate of big gorgeous voices for popular song--Judy Garland, Ethel Merman, and Barbra Streisand. Actually, I think I need to recategorize to whatever term is grandiose for quartet, because I think Betty Buckley fits in there also.   

So far we've heard Susan sing two songs (good detective work, Alice!), a lament and a blues ballad. They're lovely. I will wait patiently to see what else she comes up with. It has taken this long for her to be discovered, now people need to give her a little wiggle room to work out some good arrangements and go from there.
