That was February 2003. Caroline Usher was the editor of that issue
and it has notes remembering Suzanne by Donna Curry, Catherine Liddell,
Garald Farnham, but one of the most interesting articles is a reprint
of "Saga of a 20th-Century Lute Pioneer" which was originally published
in the Journal of the LSA (1969), pp 37-43. There is also an interview
with Susanne done by ELizabeth van Cleve. Perhaps we can get some of
this up on the LSA web site, since I think we are all out of that issue
of the Quarterly.

Check the back issues of the Q; somewhere I recall a story by
Suzanne
herself about the days when she and Poulton were both, ostensibly,
students of Arnold Dolmetsch. As she tells it, they both had rather
more on the ball than Dolmetsch did, which I can certainly believe,
and sometimes his instructions were musically/technically/string-
technologically inferior to their ideas.

IIRC, Donna has a wonderful picture of her, Gordon and the Poulton
and Bloch doing an chorus line.
