Hey Marianne:
Hope all is well and good and you had a blast in Florida. So, like, when are you going to make a road trip to Washington?? Cant wait to see you. Everyone says Hi!!! (prouty and Toole clans) Lots of love! Corinne and company
This looks great Marianne! We are in the process of designing our webpage now. What kind of deal did you find for your own domain? Just curious, as we’ll also be looking soon. Sorry you can’t make it to the party…darn, we’re right on your way to Belmont! I didn’t know Belmont had sn entertainment venue…you go girl, and knock their socks off!
Love,
Nina
I have had the honor of watching this young seedling, bloom into the Beautiful artist/muscian she was born to be………
Her passion for life, her womanhood, are all part of what makes her Shine brighter than any star in heaven…………
Hi Mer,

Love your site.
You’re quite the industrious musician.
Hope all is going well.

I’m a singer/songwriter in the Milwaukee area & was intrigued by this web site. Good job! Any chance for future sound bites to be included on this site? I’m not shy, so I’ll leave this in my message: I have written over 200 songs for guitar & piano = words, chords, sheet music on some. Do you ever need songs or material or know of someone who does? Would you like to hear some? Please let me know. Pete
Hey there Mer…..was hoping to see you here in Vermont again some time…. still think about our college daze….woe is me for straying away from a life with song… you are amazing for having pursued and lived your dream… lemme know if you come my way again… Hi to all who may read this and remember me from USF days!
From all indications, the past decade has taken your already great sound and performance to still higher ground. Congrats…!!! Can’t wait to hear you perform once again.
Love your music, great variety and style. Please visit my husbands site The Blues Drifter He has many great bios on his site, maybe you may consider to contact him with yours. Once again, love your music and fresh style.
Missed you at Swans Is. Did a search on Sweet Chariot and found your site as a result. I have not received a CD of this year\’s Swans Is. Festival and am having trouble finding the S.C. Web site. If you have any info, and care to take the time, please write! As I said, we missed your act, I don\’t know your music, but from your resume on this site I will be \’checking you out\’ Thanks - Happy Holidays -
Hey Marianne!
Very nice web site. Once again I am impressed; and I ain’t talkin’ about the web page this time;> It’s so great to see some reviews/quotes, as I am fairly new to your music but already a BIG FAN! I’m sending your web address to some friends of mine (Lisa in Mpls, Kim & Jim in Mdsn, and, of course, Apollo will have to visit. Just for starters. . .) Thanks again, chica. You are a muse.
Peace, Kaet
ps notice i was nice about my emailaddress :}
I was thinking of you today and thought I’d search for you on the internet. Sounds like you have been doing well over the many years since we were in touch. I’m happy for you.
If you get the notion, email me. Also, I’d love to buy your CD… where?
Whoa! Mer..way cool website! It sounds like you’re doing great, lots of gigs & stuff.
Would love to hear back from you; are you coming to D.C. anytime?
I still have my business but I’m basically yust consulting there as I’m also running the sign facility here at George Mason University. Not much playing these days for me except for myself, mostly on my 12-string; “Frenchtown” is still my favorite song to play & sing.
Is it true that you’re married now?
I think fondly of days past & look forward to hearing from you.
It looks like evryone in the north is having a White Christmas. I hope you are doing well and may find a way to see us in the south again sometime in the near future.
Hey Marianne!
It’s been so long you probably don’t even remember me! I met up with you in Nashville along with Mike Steinbrook and some other singer/songwriters back in the spring of’97.
I’ve been wondering how you’ve been and where your music has taken you. When I met you, I was 18 and MARRIED! Now, I’m not and I’m slowly pursuing my music career! I’ve just been singin’ locally with a few established musicans and trying to start writing some of my own songs. I don’t have much knowledge in songwriting, so right now I just have outlined ideas. What I would really love to do is get a band started. But I don’t know where to start! Have any ideas for me?
Remember me? I worked with you at Bluephies and then headed off to the Caribbean for the Peace Corps. Are you heading out to D.C. anytime soon? I live in the are and would love to see you perform again. I’ve got a gaggle of friends who would love to see you and I’d love to see again. You’re still the best female blues singer I’ve ever come across…..
Really miss seeing you. We have been on the go. Now living in Olympia Washington. If you ever get the bug to visit the Pacific Northwest you have got a place to stay. Great to see the website you are getting pretty sophisitacted.
Just an old friend saying hi. Used to live in Janesville and was with EnRoute Music. Now live on a tree farm in the middle of nowhere, but am enjoying it. Actually, in the middle of Wisconsin. Always enjoyed your music.
Shorts and Barefeet are the order of the day here in Florida! HA HA! We have been thru many Oregon winters>Brrrrr! You know you will always be welcome here> as usual> Let me know if you ever need the Martin for a special gig!
love ya,
Steve & Mary
Wow Mer!
The site looks great. Thanks for all the links. Love the fades on pix and.. heck, just all of it.
Miss you, Todd and the munchkins.
Thank goodness you move occasionally or I’d never get out of town! So,dust off the ole’ air bed and I’ll be there.
See you on your next visit to S. Fla. We all need a Marianne fix!
Love ya,
Sue Embler aka Silly Sue
You are one of the most inventive and diverse musician the pacific northwest has seen in a long time. I look forward to your upcoming gigs and can’t wait to get the new CD (hint hint, GET RECORDING, Ha Ha).
Keep up the good work and I’ll see you in the funny papers…
Weather’s finally getting better here. Horrible Wisconsin winter! Let me know when your new CD is available. I’m building a telecaster style guitar, body is made from 130 year old pine! Bought a set of pickups from a guy in Portland (Dave Stephens). He makes them from scratch! working on the body right now. Hope to have it done soon. Miss you a bunch…..
Just heard your tracks on myspace. The orchestration on the Venetian Dreams tracks is so interesting. And the mastering is great, too. That the compositions are so great is no surprise. You always were so incredibly talented. But when you get to make such great use of the studio, you really shine. I know you’re still mostly performing solo. But wouldn’t you love it if someone would foot the bill for you to have marimbas, drums, a couble singers, and the rest onstage with you? PBS would be lucky to have you on a jazz or acoustic special!
Hi Mernie,
I can’t believe I never thought to Google you before, and it’s really only you that comes up! I thought I would tell the Everhards to Google you in case they thought you had turned into some dangerous sort (it’s the company you keep ya know!) Anyway, I really miss you - that seems to be the theme of so many of your messages!
well..here you are…and I still have III chords and a bridge cd :) how are you? it’s been so long since the days in miami when i’d ride my motorcycle out to come hear you play…where’s home for u these days? i’m in beantown (boston)….must check into your latest…happy for you…..you look glowing as ever…love and peace to you…
Good to see you on your recent So. Fla. visit, I had hoped to have more time to chat with you and Marie in LW the Sunday before you left.
I am enjoying “Pure and Simple”- would you please send me the lyrics to “Bonnie & Clyde”.
Thanx,
Peace
