Why this name?
It is my Name...Like it or not ,"My Mama named me Sue"

I thought "Man They LOVE Me!!"I then heard a fiddle over my left sholder...guess who??? Roy Acuff !!!! Freaked me out !!!

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
On the one hand it makes music more excessible to the fans {especially when the country music industry thinks you have to be 'young & Blond' to be good}But then it does take some of the profits from the Artist themselves. It's kinda a catch "22"....You young folks ask your Mama ,what that means..hahaha
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I do think the Artist has more control of their careers than they did in the past...So Sure !
Band History:
I kinda told it all in the Intro...Been singing since I was 3. I play Bass, Drums, keyboard/paino ,a little Mandolin,a little lead guitar and some rythum guitar..Been working on the Banjo....
Your influences?
Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn,Donna Fargo.
I was DX with MS a couple years ago. I want y'all to know..DONNA FARGO herself called me up on the phone and talked to me for about an hour! She's the "Greatest Girl in the whole USA " too.

Favorite spot?
Nashville, Tn. The old Ryman..I really feel at ease there...
Equipment used:
Since it's just me now..And occasionally my husband sings with me, I usally use Soundtracks...might throw in a guitar or mandolin here or there...
Anything else...?
I'd like for my friends to read this article..it could be helpful in life and beyond...
