The demise last month of San Antone Cafe and
Concerts--recalled by most as Casbeers at the Church-again underscores the painful truth about live music as
presented on the nightclub and small venue level.
Itʼs a risky business, fraught with pratfalls and dead
ends for club and restaurant owners who donʼt understand what they are dealing with.
In the case of Barbara Wolfe and Steve Silbas,
the Casbeers at the Church people, it was a live music hot spot bail-out by two people who did know what
they were dealing with. They knew, and they stuck to
the rough and rocky road until a spongy economy and
Steveʼs failing health finally brought an end to it all.
Hard to understand
Since entering the live music game back in 1999
when they booked their first bands at historic Casbeers on Blanco Road, the husband-wife team ofWolfe and Silbas has amazed and confounded their
competitors, bringing in some road acts which their
space and accommodations could not possibly justify
for a profitable night.
How could they afford bands and music stars such
as the Texas Tornados, Kinky Friedman, Terri Hendrix, Gatemouth Brown, Joe King Carrasco, Sisters
Morales, Pinetop Perkins, Marcia Ball, Steve Fromholz, Fred Eaglesmith, Larry Joe Taylor, Tom Russell,
and the list goes on ad infinitum?
A combination of unique factors figure into the
equation, no single one of them strong enough to
keep Barbara and Steve propped up and operating
for as long as they did.
First of all, they think more like a musician than
they do as nightclub and restaurant owners. While
they served great truck stop enchiladas and other
dishes at first Casbeers, then Casbeers at the Church
after their move to the King William District, and finally
as San Antone Cafe and Concerts, Wolfe and Silbas
have always put the major focus on live music.
Musician rapport
Both of them are walking encyclopedias on roots
music and Texas music and musicians in particular.
Steve Silbas can rattle off the names, recordings,
stage show accomplishments, and backup sidemen for an endless lineup of musicians who range
from the eclectic to mainstream superstars in the
making. And from their beginning on Blanco Road
at old Casbeers, Steve and Barbara have enjoyed
an unbelievable rapport with the musicians they
have booked, an edge that most of their competitors have eyed with envious amazement.
Because of their non-commercial affinity for
the men and women who earn a living playing music, Barbara Wolfe and Steve Silbas formed bonds
and lasting friendships with musicians which cannot be accounted for at the gate or in a contract
guarantee.They earned the respect and trust of
the musicians who worked their stages, and most
of the musicians responded in kind.
For many of the pickers, a music illiterate
nightclub owner with dollar signs for eyeballs, is
their natural enemy, a tone-deaf pariah with a cash
register heart who will use them, abuse them, and
bad-mouth them for years to come if their appearance doesnʼt pack the house. Silbas and Wolfe
have never been of this ilk.
“If Steve and I had wanted to make money,”
Barbara Wolfe said, “we would have opened a
karaoke bar. We have both loved roots music for
years, and we really wanted to do our part to help
with the movement and the musicians who make
it work. Of course we wanted to make a profit and
do it in the field we love, but, hey, we know the
real score. We operated the finest non-profit music
club in this part of Texas, and we had a lot of fun
while it lasted.”
Casbeers (and that is the name which Silbas and Wolfe really put on the map) will occupy
a distinction in Texas music history which only a
scant few saloons ever attain--a soulful oasis for
creative pickers with that special vibe which transcends commercialism of all forms.
These are the little dumps which have flabbergasted the mainstream entertainment world
for years, those funky little broom closets which
have a strange and powerful allure for some of the
finest, and normally expensive, musicians in the
land.
The magical Bijou
San Antonioʼs Bijou Club on San Pedro was one
of these legendary little hangouts. After winding up
one of his Saturday night shows at Flooreʼs Country
Store in Helotes, Willie Nelson couldnʼt wait to reach
the Bijou for some late night jam sessions. Jerry Jeff
Walker and Ray Wylie Hubbard were also regular impromptu visitors, and didnʼt Jackson Browne bounce
into the Bijou after one of his major shows downtown.
And was that Leon Russell we saw on the Bijou piano
stool one night with Blind George McClain?
The old Longneck was another musician favorite,
and I can still recall the night we got Jimmy Buffett
into the popular joint off Blanco Road with nothing
more than a phone call to his Ramada Inn suite, and
a promise of slim bucks and all the margaritas that
San Antonioʼs own little “Margaritaville” could offer.
Buffett was crossing over from East Coast to West
Coast, and he went for the deal. There was time prior
to the Buffett show at Ron Singletaryʼs old Longneck
Club for about 20 30-second spots on old KEXL FM,
but that was enough. The joint was packed, and the
parking lot, too, and Buffett said it “felt right.”
Leon Springs Cafe
Jud Pickardʼs old Leon Springs Cafe was another
one of those musician magnates. Robert Earl Keen,
Townes Van Zandt, and Billy Joe Shaver preferred
Judʼs joint over all others, and how could any of us
forget the Bits and PIeces on San Pedro where Vince
Vance and the Valliants made their San Antonio debut?
Owners and operators of these clubs all managed
to gain the respect and trust of the musicians who
worked their stages, and it is safe to say that some
of the pickers might, on occasion, have adjusted their
regular contract fee when the club owner was facing a
financial bath due to unexpected poor attendance.
But it has never been enough.
Whether it be Austinʼs legendary Soap Creek Saloon, the magical Bijou Club, or Barbara and Steveʼs
old Casbeers, there is one common denominator:
The nostalgic little soul music happenings all produce
more memories than revenue.

Indian Ric Marley dies of cancer in Hawaii
By Sam Kindrick
Indian Ric Marley is
dead, and the sun that
tanned his hide and
warmed his spirit probably contributed to his
death on April 30 at the
age of 56.
The diagnosis was
melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer which spread to
Marleyʼs
brain
and
lungs.
A self-made Indian,
a master craftsman,
and a realistic nature
artist with few peers,
Eric (White Turtle) Marley was a Churchill High
School graduate who
completely and without
reservation adopted the
life style of the Native
American.
He lived in tepees
on various Hill Country ranches, fashioned
his clothing from feathers and road kill ani-
mal skins, and became
a much sought after
speaker and teacher in
the field of Native American lore.
Ric died in Anahola,
Hawaii on the Island of
Kauai, an area Marley
frequented when he
was not residing in Austin.
He was cared for
and nursed until his
death by Carolyn Poisso, a school mate from
Churchill High who he
reunited with last August at the Canteen
Fest at Floore Store in
Helotes.
A reunion of musicians and friends who
frequented
the
old
Teen Canteen during
the 1960s and 1970s,
Canteen Fest was going strong when Indian
Ric walked in wearing a
wild-looking beach hat
that resembled a chick-
en hawkʼs nest, flipflops,
and short britches.
Sam Kinsey, owner
and operator of the legendary Teen Canteen,
said Carolyn and Ric hit
it off at first sight.
“They knew each
other from high school,”
he said “They had never
dated or anything, but
the attraction was there,
and they hadnʼt laid
eyes on one another for
40 years. After Canteen
Fest, Carolyn accompanied Ric to Hawaii, and
then came the trouble.”
Contacted by telephone in Hawaii, where
she will soon leave for
a return to San Antonio,
Carolyn Poisso said
Marleyʼs first symptoms
appeared in December
with a small tumor on
his back.
Ric didnʼt pay much
attention to it, but
he was beginning to
Ric Marley as he appeared in a 1996 Action article
• 6 • Action Magazine, June 2011
stumble and suffer bad
headaches when the official diagnosis came on
February 3.
“It was malignant
melanoma,”
Carolyn
said. “By then, he had
three brain tumors, and
the cancer had spread
to his lungs.”
After Ricʼs death,
Poisso said, his friends
carried his body to a
camp he had maintained on the beach,
and he was laid out in
full Indian regalia, including a complete
headdress.
White Turtle was
Marleyʼs Indian name.
“There were three
services,” Carolyn said.
“One was Native American, and the holy man
who conducted the ceremony had American
Indian ties.”
She noted that Ric
was cremated, and that
his ashes are in possession of his daughters. Another memorial
service may be held in
at a future date, either in
Austin or San Antonio.
Marley was a friend
of my late son, Grady
Kindrick, and I featured
Indian Ric on the cover
of the October, 1996 issue of Action Magazine.
At that time, I was hanging out with my future
and now current wife
Sharon, and Marley was
living on a ranch near
Leakey with daughters
Anita and Melonie, both
teenagers at the time.
We spent the day
together, and later met
up with Marley and his
girls at a genuine Indian
pow-wow on the Llano
River near Llano, Texas.
He was a friendly,
generous soul who was
loved by many, and he
was a genuine Texas
character who was well
summarized in an e-mail
Karen Torgerson sent to
Canteen Fest organizer
Neka Scarborough.
Torgerson wrote: “I
wish someone would
start an ʻin memory
of Eric (White Turtle)
Marleyʼ page so people
could post their stories
of his adventures. There
are so many. Like when
Ric took a real skeleton to school...or, like
the article Sam wrote
in the October, 1996
issue of Action Magazine, where Ric was at
a South Side jam at a
Bandidos house where
a little known band was
coming up with a name.
Someone asked what
the best known rolling
papers were and they
came up with Zig Zag
and Top. Next thing he
knew, they were playing
at the Teen Canteen un-
Indian Ric with Sam Kinsey at Canteen Fest last August
der the name ZZ Top.
“Ricʼs first adventure in Hawaii was one
of his best. He stole
Sylvester
Stalloneʼs
horse and stayed on the
beach with it beside his
tepee. He also made
leather G-strings for
a bunch of male strippers in exchange for the
right to also strip at their
party. He was drafted by
the local police to help
round up a loose buffalo
from a nearby ranch. He
learned to climb down a
palm tree in a loin cloth.
Then there was the
one about him swimming treacherous waters to a cave where
he spoke with a holy
man, and his trekking
deep into the woods to
get away from civilization, only to find a nude
young woman swimmer
with a cell phone who
was best friends with
one of his daughters.
Each one was a story
unto itself. He kept us
all laughing.”
Marleyʼs pen and
ink drawings of animals
and Indians are realistically startling, and he
had managed to make a
living through the years
selling his artwork.
“He was a great artist, and an incredible
craftsman,” said Carolyn Poisso.
“And he had the biggest
of hearts. He would do
anything for another
person, never asking
much in return.”
When I interviewed
Marley for the 1996 article, he said that everything he owned was
made from someone
elseʼs trash.
“I donʼt hunt or trap,”
he said. All of our skins
come from road kills I
pick up. Hair, teeth, and
bone can be recycled.”
At that time, he was
making Indian dreamcatchers with the rings
from old tomato cases.
Real ivory, he said, can
be had by filing the orange covering from
the teeth of nutria rats.
And Marley was making medicine bags with
yarn woven from his
own hair.
Marley worked for
about four years for
Sam Kinsey at the old
Teen Canteen, and he
did art work and promotion for both Jam Productions and Concerts
West.
But the Indian way
and the great outdoors
came above all else.
While Marley claimed to
be one-fourth Comanche, he told me that he
once resented his white
man blood so much
that he cavorted on the
beaches at Port Aransas in a loin cloth, so
that his buttocks would
be as brown as the rest
of his body.
Ric told me, “A
manʼs butt represents
his true color.”
Torgerson
Karen
is a fellow artist whose
husband Cy grew up
with Marley, and they
have remained friends
throughout the years.
She believes that
Marley first went to Hawaii with the suspicion
that he might have cancer, possibly looking for
a cure.
Marley marched to
his own drum beat, and
had he known that direct contact with the sun
can cause skin cancer,
he probably wouldnʼt
have done anything differently.
Eric Marley was a
true Indian in so many
respects.
He thought like an
Indian. He dressed like
an Indian much of the
time. And he was as
spiritually in tune with
the Great Spirit and the
balance of nature as
Peta Nocona, Quanah
Parker, or Chief Red
Cloud.
But he had the
white manʼs skin, and
he was never able to
get out of it.

The changing faces of San Antonio’s Suzy Bravo
Wild Woman...
...or Angel?
She’s no ‘bubblegum beauty queen’
By the light of day,
Susie Garcia is a health
education and services
specialist with the Martinez
Street Womenʼs Center.
When the sun goes
down and the moon comes
up, she becomes something else again.
Susie Garcia transforms into Suzy Bravo, a
punk culture soul and rock
diva who cut her musical
choppers at Taco Land under the approving gaze of
the late Ram Ayala.
“I called him Daddy,”
Suzy says of Ayala, “and
that pretty well sums up
what he meant to me.”
But Susie Garcia began her journey into the
life of Suzy Bravo (note
the spelings of “Susie”
and “Suzy”) long before
she happened on the Taco
Land scene. And long be-
fore she flanged together
her current group, a horndriven band known in most
off-the-beaten-path joints
as Suzy Bravo and the
Soul Revue.
“I knew I wanted to
sing since I was a little girl,”
Suzy Bravo laughs. “But I
was awful at it. Couldnʼt
sing a lick. In elementary
school the teacher made
me lip sync in the Christmas show.”
Upon graduation from
high school (she attended
both Lanier and Southwest), Susie Garcia took
her life savings of $300
and bought a bus ticket for
Los Angeles where she enrolled in a school for musicians.
“The first song I ever
wrote was for an audition
tape at the school,” Suzy
Bravo says. “But I soon
• 8 • Action Magazine, June 2011
quit. I had to find my own
voice. I hung out in L.A.,
and even spent some time
in New York City, working
part time in a record store.’
We
caught
Suzy
Bravoʼs act last month at
the Ram Jam, an annual
fest to honor Ram Ayalaʼs
memory, and later at
Azaneth Dominguezʼs Saluté Club on the St. Maryʼs
Strip.
Suzy Bravo is a power
singer with a stage presence which can be described only as explosive.
She calls her group Suzy
Bravo and the Soul Revue.
And it is an apropos handle, for Suzy sings with an
inferno of emotion, changing facial expressions with
almost every beat of the
music, and swinging her
mop of raven-black hair
like the tail on a runaway
mare, giant hoop earrings
flashing through the inky
underbrush.
“I love it, obviously, “
she said. “Punk rock is energy with a message. It is
more about an attitude of
revolution, an expression
of something that is not of
the mainstream pop culture society.“
In the mid-90s when I
was getting my feet wet, it
was damn hard for a female
to break in with a punk rock
band. Now it is a glamour
thing... bubblegum beauty
queens manipulated by
mainstream culture. Many
of them donʼt have a clue.”
Now 34, Suzy Bravo
still works at one speed-full and ahead, but admits
there might some temperance on certain occasions.
“I still go to my knees
on stage, pour beer in my
hair, and do a lot of that
wild and crazy stuff today,”
Suzy said. “But Iʼm doing it
less often. It got to where
people seemed to expect
it, and thatʼs not how it is
supposed to be. It has got
to be spontaneous, like the
music, and I must feel what
Iʼm doing while Iʼm doing it.
It must be real.”
For a number of years
after returning from L.A.,
Suzy worked at Hog Wild
Records on Main Avenue,
searching then for a band
to sing with.
“I tried working with a
heavy metal group from the
South Side, but that wasnʼt
my style,” Suzy said. “I
was still searching for my
place. I donʼt ever want to
be put in a pigeon hole. Iʼm
a big Lucinda Williams fan.
She never sold out. And I
have tremendous respect
for Emmy Lou Harris. I
grew up listening to Fats
Domino, James Brown,
and Johnny Cash. Iʼm Tejano, conjunto, blues and
soul. And when in L.A. and
New York, I was reminded
again that I am a Mexican.
I couldnʼt wait to get back
home to my momʼs cooking. The tacos you find in
California and New York
really suck.”
Suzyʼs voice is deep,
soulful, and plenty loud,
and she does James
Brown like a female “Godfather of Soul” if there ever
was one, demonstrating
her admiration for the funk
master with James Brown
tribute shows which started
the year after his death in
2006 at the Limelight on St.
Maryʼs Street, and ended

Goodbye to Steve
Much loved country
musician Steve Mallett once
said that he wanted a celebration of his life when he
passed out of this old world.
He will get his wish on
June 19 when friends, family, and fellow musicians
converge on Floore Store in
Helotes to pay tribute to the
enormously popular bass
player, vocalist, and songwriter who died May 1 at
age 62.
Dub Robinson, leader
of the Drug Store Cowboys,
said of his friend and fel-
Steve Mallett
low band member: “Steve
fought a long battle with kidney disease and at the end
his heart gave out. He is and
will be sorely missed as a
great friend and talent.”
Dub said Steveʼs ashes
are in his tackle box waiting
for a trip to the coast to be
dispersed.
The forthcoming blowout at Flooreʼs, which will
start at 3 p.m., promises
to be a monster, according
to Robinson, who added:
“Steve was muy puro San
Antonio, as you well know,
and you donʼt want to miss
this tribute party.”
Pat Yokum, a longtime
friend of Mallett, said that,
before he died, he had ex-
pressed his wishes for a celebratory party to mark his
passing.
Of her friend Yokum
said, “I love you and miss
you, friend. Knowing you in
my life was the best deal I
could ever have asked for.”
It was Yokum who supplied us with most of the
background information for
this notice.
In addition to the Drug
Store Cowboys, the last
band Mallett worked with,
he will be remembered for
other South Side groups
which include Goat Creek
Conspiracy (his first band),
Bergs Mill Symphony, Surprize Package, Kevin and
the Black Tears, and Vito
and the Kactus Kickers.
One of the bright spots
in Mallettʼs career was his
song Dos Tacos being recorded by both Augie Meyers and Johnny Bush.
The song as sung by
Augie was background music in in a comedy movie titled Tortilla Heaven, and the
liner credits noted the writer
of the tune as Stephen Ross
Mallett.
“Steve really got a kick
out of this,” said Pat Yokum.
“He played on a number of
CDs by some really great
musicians, but his tune making it into the movies was an
accomplishment of which he
was very proud.”
With failing kidneys,
Mallett was on dialysis the
past six years. He had several heart attacks, a triplebypass operation several
years ago, and was given
up for dead on at least three
occasions before his May 1
death.
Mallett was one of
those rare individuals who

preferred laughter to selfpity, and he maintained his
off-the-wall sense of humor
to the end.
Conrad Goeth, one of
Mallettʼs closest friends,
was visiting at his bedside
after one of the major heart
scares.
Conrad said he asked
Steve if he would like a
prayer.
“Not really,” Steve told
him. “What Iʼd really like is a
plate of enchiladas.”
down the road, a woman
passed over a bridge only to
find a cop with a radar gun
on the other side lying in
wait. The cop pulled her over,
walked up to the car, with that
classic patronizing smirk we
all know and love, and asked,
“What’s your hurry?”
To which she replied,
“I’m late for work.”
“Oh yeah,” said the cop,
“what do you do?”
ʻI’m a rectum stretcher,”
she responded.
“The cop stammered, “A
Rectum Stretcher what? A rectum stretcher?
While she was “flying” And just what does a rectum
Mustang
Sally’s
stretcher do?”
“Well,” she said, “I start
by inserting one finger, then
work my way up to two fingers, then three, then four,
then with my whole hand in,
I work from side to side until I can get both hands in,
and then I slowly but surely
stretch it, until it’s about 6
feet wide.”
“And just what the hell
do you do with a 6-foot asshole?,” he asked.
She answered:
“You give him a radar
gun and park him behind a
bridge...”

1st Friday Every Month:
Herbʼs Going Strong
Herbʼs Hat Shop and
boot and shoe repair on
Rigsby Avenue is open for
business and servicing its
many customers as always,
despite the untimely road
death in February of its
charismatic owner and operator, Herb Carroll.
Herbʼs wife Pat says the
tradition will be carried on
just as her husband would
have it, and that all three of
the longtime employees at
the shop will remain on the
job.
Vickey Walsh, an employee of Herbʼs for 15
years, works the front counter and helps with both boot
and hat sales, while Cheryl
Burd, a 30-year employee
who looked upon Carroll as
a father figure, shapes and
blocks hats with a skill that
only a real cowboy can appreciate.
She is one of the best in
the country.
And while he is a man of
few words, Salvador Gonzalez, the boot repair man and
cobbler, is a veteran who
worked for Lucchese when
the world-famous boot company was locally owned.
“I know that Herb would
want his people to stay
on the job, and I want the
same,” said Pat Carroll. “I
also intend to carry on with
Herbʼs Lions Club and Livestock show charity projects
because I know that is what
he would want.”

“Suzy Bravo” Cont’d from pg. 8
last month with a performance at Tuckerʼs on the
East Side.
“This will likely be our
last James Brown tribute,” Suzy said. “But who
knows? James Brown was
ageless, and so is his music. And if there was ever
a punk rocker from the old
days, it was James Brown.
“At that time, James
Soul Revue bassist
Eddie Hernandez
Brown was as punk rock
as you get. Itʼs all about the
energy. They call it punk
rock now, but that energy
is soul. Itʼs music with a
passion, sung with a lot
of emotion. There are different variations of it, but
thatʼs where the root of it
lies.”
Suzy also headed a
Johnny Cash tribute at
Taco Land, proving that
Keyboard player
Thomas Dyer
outlaws of any genre are
worthy of her consideration.
The major spoke in the
Suzy Bravo music wheel is
bassist Eddie Hernandez,
who also plays lead guitar
with the group Sexto Sol
and Maneaters of Tsavo.
Other players in the Soul
Revue core group include
Roland Delacruz, guitar,
who also works in Masters
of Love and Mescaleros;
Brant Sankey, guitar; Paul
Ward, drums, formerly
with Cave Cat Sammy, the
Swindles, and many more;
and Thomas Dyer on keys.
Sam Villela of Sexto Sol
occasionally fills in on keyboards.
The current horn section includes Tony Romeo
on trumpet, Dave Woodard
on trombone, and Roger
on sax. Frank Rodarte also
plays sax with the Soul Revue on occasion.
And the influence of
Frank (The Wild Jalapeno)
Rodarte, a super saxman
and onetime music columnist for Action Magazine,
has long been evident in
Suzyʼs penchant for big
horn section bands.
“Sheʼs a real wild woman,” Rodarte laughs. “We
worked together at The Mix
for some time, and she still
calls me to fill in on some of
her gigs.”
A super-active Catholic who never tires in his
mission to spread the word
of Jesus Christ, Rodarte
wants Suzy Bravo to kick
her act into an even higher
realm.
“Spirituality,” says the
Jalapeno. “She has all the
makings for it. She is a
chicana Aretha, a Tejano
Etta, and a super soulful
chick who can do justice
to everyone from James
Brown to Randy Garibay.
Now I feel that she has
done just about all she can
do in this punk thing. I feel
she should kick it on up a
notch. She could do gospel
like nobody else, and thatʼs
the direction I would like to
see her take.”
Rodarteʼs involvement
in Suzyʼs first James Brown
tribute lent authenticity
to the event, since Frank
had rubbed shoulders with
Brown, as well as the late
Redd Foxx, Sammy Davis
Jr., and many other vintage
performers from the old
Vegas Strip.
With his Dell Kings
group of the late 1950s,
and later the Los Blues
group of the 1970s, Rodarte played a 320-week

run at the Sahara Hotel in
Vegas, and he was in the
same New York hotel with
James Brown while Los
Blues performed over an
extended engagement.
“When heʼd finish his
gig and we finished ours,
we would see each other
at the deli,” Rodarte said.
“Heʼd come out of the limo,
with all the brothers, ordering sandwiches and stuff.”
Rodarte
said
Los
Blues adopted a lot of
James Brown rules which
were implemented when
the group worked Vegas.
“It was no smoking on
stage,” he said. “No drinking. We didnʼt want any
lulls.”
While Suzy has been
influenced by Rodarte and
others, she says her mom
Mary was probably the
greatest influence of them
all.
“She had her own little
soul group,” Suzy said.
“She sounded like a black
lady.”
Suzy loved 1970s
punk rocker Patti Smith
because she could wail
and be a poet at the same
time. And Suzy recalls her
momʼs love for Fats Domino music.
“The old stuff has al-
ways been the foundation,” Suzy said. “And now
the classic old soul stuff is
coming back. And thatʼs
how we try to do it, naturally and without any of the
special effects which have
taken the real out of a lot of
music.”
Suzy Bravo has made
single recordings of Gladys
Knightʼs Imagination, and
Ann Sextonʼs Youʼre Losing Me. And she has done
studio backup vocals with
Austinʼs Brownout, Fantasma, and Flaming Hellcats.
But her first appearance on
a full-length CD is just now
in the works.
“Members of my band
are working with members
of Los Mescaleros and
Boxcar Satan on a first CD
which will be called Even
Sinners Have Soul,” Suzy
said. “It will include some
blues/rock covers, along
with some original stuff I
have written.”
Suzy says she wants
to work more on original material in the future,
maintaining, if possible, an
8 or 9-piece group.
A number of years
ago, Suzy opened for Motorhead in the Verizon amphitheater to over 1,000
people, but most of her
appearances have been
in off-the-wall joints like
Taco Land, Limelight, Saluté, White Rabbit, The
Mix, and the Port Aransas
Sand Festival where Suzy
fans abound. The Soul Revue also plays a number of
weddings.
Suzy is a sharp chick
who admits to being torn
between her punk rock
persona and a day job
that requires a rocksteady
dedication to the needs of
young women in need of
help.
“I used to dye my hair
cherry red,” Suzy said.
“And I would still wear it
cherry red if not for my day
job.”
She said her job as a
community health educator with the Martinez Street
Womenʼs Center is a part
of her life that she will not
relinquish.
“We are about supporting the empowerment
of women and girls,” Suzy
said. “Itʼs about health education, including diabetes
and breast cancer screening. Children, of course,
are included in the work.
And we even do some parenting.”
Childless and never
married, Suzy has a boyfriend who works out of the
music field.
“Iʼm a soul singer with
a punk rock outlook,” Suzy
said. “But I love working
with young women and
children. I have considered
adopting a child somewhere in the future. And I
guess it is my career with
the womenʼs center that
has kept me from taking
the band and hitting the
road full time. I also plan
on returning to college for
a degree in the health education field.”
She added: “I feel like
I have the best of both
worlds. I know I have my
head in the clouds and one
foot planted firmly on the
ground. I donʼt want to stop
the community service
work, and I canʼt imagine a
life without the music.”
