whiedHi Ron,
You're absolutely right! Sue Thompson is alive and kickin' and still singing on occasion. She's an amazing 84 years old and lives in high Mojave Desert country in Pahrump, NV about 75 minutes from the Las Vegas strip.
I'm have the honor and pleasure of helping her write her autobiography.
We're building a website and a myspace site that will be up soon.
I'll keep you posted. You seem like a great knowledgable fan.
Sue would love to hear from you, I'm sure. She doesn't have email yet but we just fixed her husband, Ted, up with a laptop.
If you'd like, send a note to me and I'll relay it to her. I see her 3-4 times a week. dankeenan41@yahoo.com or keenan.dj@gmail.com
btw, there's a great digitally remastered CD of her western swing music at Mercury Records from 1950-54. It includes the very first recording anybody made of the classic "You Belong to Me." The CD is called "Angels Cry" produced by the British Archive of Country Music. You can order directly from their fantastic online catalogue. I can't pull up their site now but do a search and you'll find them.
Glad I ran across your blog.
Dan
