I just read of the
untimely death of one of America's most polished interpreters of the
American Popular Songbook. She will be missed by all of us. At times
Susannah would send me an e-mail with positive and encouraging snippets
about the Johnny Mercer Education Archives website. It was my pleasure to
share with her some versions of Johnny Mercer's songs, that she could sing
in other languages to her fans - around the world.
Good bye Susannah, you have left the
world a better place. |

Congratulations on a wonderful website! It's clear that this is a real labor of
love, and I'm sure I speak for many people when I tell you how much it is appreciated. I
wish every great songwriter could have someone as devoted as you designing and maintaining
a website about him (or, in the case of Dorothy Fields, her). I very much appreciate the
biographical information and the rare songs you faxed me just before my Johnny Mercer
concert in Fort Lauderdale in February. I gave a better concert because of your help! I
announced the Johnny Mercer website address during the concert. I hope you have had some
good response to it. This website is a wonderful use of
technology in the service of art. Thank you for helping to keep these marvelous songs
alive, and for helping those of us who perform them to have access to information and
songs it might take weeks to find without your help. Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry sincerely yours,
Susannah McCorkle
Thank you Susannah for placing your comments on my hobby website
