Suzanne has lived in the Far East, Europe, the Caribbean, the East Coast, the West Coast, and many places in between. Most recently she lived on a ranch in Catron County, where she frightened the horses wowed the livestock with her amazing virtuosity and unique song stylings. She has come to Socorro in search of a two-legged audience (or at least one which is not so easily startled...)

Long ago, in a lifetime far, far away, Mary wanted nothing more than to be a musician.  She learned to play piano and started college as a flute major. But soon she discovered geology and switched from classical to rocks.    Later she meandered into seismology and aeons later, after becoming gainfully employed at IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology),she was swept off her feet by a guitar-playing man(see Jim Campbell below), fell in with a merry band of Socorro musicians and learned to play mandolin.  She’s a big Elvis fan.(Elvis is their dog – he may have more fans in Socorro than the band.)
