SUZY & SON BEN APPEAR ON GAC SHOW COVERING CITR
February 9, 2006

GAC was at Country in the Rockies covering this star studded event that raises money for cancer and other research. (See story Below)  The Great American County show, "Country Music Across America," heads to the mountains and is now airing.  Suzy is seen several times and along side son Ben in an interview on his contributions to this very worthy cause.

Apparently Ben has a couple friends with moms that have cancer.  A couple years ago, this inspired him to want to help with raising money during CITR.   The first year his "Cocoa for the Cure" raised an amazing $3000. But that was only the beginning.  This year the amount has grown by more that 10 fold and topped the $35,000 mark.   Pretty impressive numbers for this young man that is not quite 11 years of age.

The show airs several times starting Thursday February 9th through Sunday February 12th.

SUZY VISITED BY ONE OF THOSE 49 MEN
December 24, 2005

Suzy was surprised at one of her shows this past year by one of those 50 residents from the little town of  Centennial, WY.   Jeff Kimball pictured here with Suzy was one of the Banjo players with the band in Centennial where Suzy learned one of her all time favorite songs, Night Riders Lament. Thanks to her time in Centennial, Suzy still introduces new folks to this great song.

                                                          
The National Association for Music Education is promoting music education in our schools.
