Well, after attending the first show, I was more excited about what the second would contain. I was anxious for another great show and Suzy never disappointed.

It was 9:34 p.m. when Suzy and the band walked out on to the stage. She said hello to everyone and asked if anyone had big plans for July 4^th. She said that she was going to the Univ. of Maryland to see oyster orgies the next day. "This is the one time I wish my son was with me so that I wouldn't have to explain so much." Otherwise, she was going to fluff over the weekend. Just then, she kicked into "Outbound Plane."

Suzy shared with the audience that the second show is always looser. After picking around on her guitar strings, she got the approval from Pat that she was tuned and went into "Aces."

She announced that there was a television special that she was going to be a part of, because Ian Tyson is celebrating his 75^th birthday! She talked about going on tour with Clint Black and Alabama and playing this song. Everyone thought that it was a brand new song and it turned out to be the first single off the "Aces" album. Then, Suzy continued with "Someday Soon."

Suzy takes a moment and shares with the audience a bracelet that she had gotten from a woman after the first show. She talks about how she has an art degree in metalsmithing. She didn't do anything like the bracelet she was wearing. She liked the big welder and heavy metals. She commented that the bigger earrings always made your butt look small.

Suzy continues to talk about writing this next song with Matraca Berg for the first time. She wanted to write something that wasn't a fairy tale and the fact that there aren't always happy endings. Then, they met up with Gary Harrison and invited him into the song so that he could help tone the ladies down a bit. Here, Suzy starts off into "Hey, Cinderella."

Afterwards, Suzy introduced the band: Will Barrow on piano, Chris Donahue on bass, Todd London on drums, and Pat Bergeson on guitar. She told Todd that he's got an awesome name and she wished she had a name like "London," but instead, she got "Bogguss." Here, they started off the Swing material with "Straighten Up and Fly Right."

She continued on with the show by talking about the days of when she was getting pitched some songs that were in Class D and C. She never liked the waitress songs, but as the better songs came along, she started getting more attached to the lonely waitresses. Here, she did "Sweetheart (Waitress in a Donut Shop)." And right after that, Will and Suzy did a duet with "Cupid Shot Us Both with One Arrow." During this tune, Will did a killer solo that got a raving applause from the audience and Suzy.

Just for fun, Suzy told the band they would do "Do Nothing 'Til You Hear from Me."

At this moment, Suzy announced that it was time for her shameless plug for her new album that's coming out on Sept. 4. Folks are able to pre-order the album online and they will receive it on the day that it's released. And, the first 500 copies will be signed by her. At this moment, she and the band moved into "Busride."

Suzy took a moment and talked about Jason Miles and how they had met during the recording of "Blue Suede Sneakers." (Suzy cut "Stuck on You" for this record.) She said they were both very different people, but had fun making this new album. The music is criss-cross between country and jazz. Then, she went into "If You Leave Me Now."

Afterwards, the band left the stage and Suzy said that it was time for requests and announced, "I'm so easy," followed by an evil laugh. She apologizes for telling on herself, because she learned that in speech class, that wasn't the right thing to do. Although, she talked about her speech being over Fondue and her first line was "First you cut the cheese." After getting a C in that class, she didn't really care how she talked on stage. Then, she started off with "Letting Go."

The next song was written by Tony Arata and Suzy thought he did such a great job writing it, she wished her name was on it, instead. Here, she played "Part of Me."

Just then, the band came back out on stage and Suzy was selecting which pick she wanted to play with. She said, "Oh, I've got a Billy Dean pick." But, she wasn't going to give it away. She had talked about how she performed with Billy at the Naval Academy one year, during her pregnancy. She was wearing slippery shoes and had fallen just as Billy was making his way to the stage. The entire audience was gasping and Billy thought that it was for him, so he continued to wave and made his way through. He never even saw that Suzy had fallen. Later, that night, he got yelled at for not noticing Suzy and not helping her.

A gentleman from a couple tables over had requested "Heartache." Suzy had asked Will if he knew that song. Will said he'd try it, but Suzy said that she couldn't risk it. It was too good of a song and it was a Lowell George song. "I would drink that man's bath water," she said.

Suzy continued with another story of meeting up with a couple of guys, recently, who she met in Centennial, WY. It was there, she learned this next song and Suzy sang "Night Rider's Lament."

She, once again, tuned her guitar with Pat's approval and cut into "No Way Out." Suzy invited the audience to sing along to the next song, which was "Drive South."

Afterwards, she and the band left the stage momentarily. They came back and Will had dared Suzy to do "Close to You." Suzy made several attempts at it and in some cases couldn't remember the lyrics. She said a naughty little word out of frustration and I think she even surprised herself as she covered her mouth and started laughing. She finally gave up and did another little ditty and I believe that it was "Bobby McGee," but that's only because she sang the line "me and Bobby McGee," but cut that off, because she said it was horrible and again, couldn't remember the lyrics. Just then, the band kicked into "Eat at Joe's," which the audience, again, had known their participation in the song and we all carried on. Suzy had talked about the next song as a song that she wrote with Chet Atkins and Doug. Suzy and Chet had done an interview and this song came up. Chet said that Suzy and Doug had written it and Suzy told him, "And with you. You're the one that came up with the music." She said that Chet was modest and Chet had added, "That's because there's a lot to be modest about." Just then, Suzy and the boys went into "One More for the Road."

And with that, the night came to an end around 11:20 p.m. It was a great night to be had and there were a lot of laughs for everyone
