September 2011
That’s my dear friend and musician Mollie Glazer and I before our kids’ concert on September 13, 2011 in Nantucket, MA. We’re both holding ukuleles, but Mollie also played cello and I played my autoharp. You can hear Mollie on lots of my recordings, and the song she wrote with my husband Jay Rehak, “I Should Like,” appears on my CD Songs in the Key of Chai.

That’s me in the back row on the right holding up my handmade adufe drum at a drum workshop in July created and taught by Dr. Craig Woodson from Roots of Rhythm. Teacher friends from Merit School of Music, Ravinia’s Artist in Residence program and Old Town School of Music’s Wiggleworms joined me in a fabulous two-day session held at Merit in downtown Chicago.

Here I am celebrating Fairview Elementary School’s 25th Anniversary. I love this school in Rockford, IL, and I was happy to be asked back to help celebrate. It’s staff, students, families and mission is indeed something to be honored. Happy Anniversary Fairview!

Susan performing for the campers and counselors of Big City Day Camp, Chicago.
As the storm clouds lumbered across the sky on the afternoon of July 1st, Susan made music with the campers and counselors at the Center on Halsted in the heart of Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. The Center, a safe space and unique treasure on the city's northside, is an architecturally gorgeous place for all urbanites to gather, share a meal, sing, and heal.
My friend and amazing storyteller, Dot Kane. We've performed "The Dot and Susan Show" for the last ten years in schools, libraries and festivals throughout the Chicagoland area.
