Suzi

Suzanne Saxby who goes by Suzi online was a very early member of the community, joining some time in October 2005 (only a month after the Readers Recommend column was launched). She has been an enthusiastic player ever since. Her favourite artists are Leonard Cohen, Kinks, Blondie, Pogues, Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, Karine Polwart, Oysterband, many more, wide variety of stuff including Dave Brubeck, songs by Cole Porter, and Tom Lehrer. She is very proud of getting Leonard Cohen’s Anthem onto the A List but wants to stress that she is not that Suzanne! Suzi jumped right into the guru’s chair early on for the topic of Embarrassment on Oct. 25, 2012. She’s helmed the column 23 times now.
