Support local music with Sierra Madre Sue


A hugeTHANK YOU to everyone who said prayers, channeled good thoughts, and had their fingers and other body parts crossed on my behalf. I GOT THE JOB!!! But in the event those who didn't get it haven't been contacted yet, I am not at liberty to be more specific. Just know that I truly appreciate all of your support!

After getting the good news late yesterday afternoon, settling down at the computer to do the Music News was out of the question. So here it is, better late than never, accompanied by a photo of my happy, smiling, employed face!
