VANAVER BENEFIT On May 21st 2006 Susan joined Natalie Merchant, The Klezmatics & Pete Seeger
onstage for a special fundraiser for Bill Vanaver. $55,000 was raised for the folk musician and dancer, who had
suffered a heart attack earlier this year.
Despite being insured the cost of the surgery and recovery was so high
that this event had to be set up to raise the
extra money. Thanks for all who were there and made it possible!
