Hello to you all!

I'm new in this mailinglist and i joined it because i found many interesting aspects to the songs of SuzyV at her site in the WWW.

Some of them matched my own interpretation of the lyrics while others were diffrent but none the less interesting.

I'm not a bonehard fan for suzanne but i like many of her songs! (BTW I'm not a fan for anyone, i don't want to be fanatic.)

I've five CD's of her: SV,SS,DOTOH and 99.9F. I think of the DOTOH as the best one but the others aren't bad at all and well worth listening and buying. I didn't liked 99.9F at first. It was a cut to the style she performed earlier but after three or four times listening to the songs i found that they are simply an evolution of her way to make music.

In all the messages in this list i've missed a song that i like very much and wich is one of my favorite SuzyV songs "Gypsy". So i'm asking you real fans, how do you like it? Is it one of the songs you prefer or do think it's rubbish?

I've seen that Suzanne herself posts time after time to this list. It is great to see that she acts here not as the big Star that she propably is but as a human beeing wich we all are. So i have one question to her: Did you ever think that your line in that particular song, "We strangers know each other now as part of the whole design" could come true in such a nice way?

So i don't want to bother you anyfurther with my scribled lines

Rubbish??? No, not by a long shot, no. It's one of the songs I've loved most in my life. But although I'm kind of known for analysing songs a lot, I prefer not to write too much about Gypsy. I just want to let the song carry me to a world of sweet dreams...

Later,
