Welcome to women of the northwest where I interview ordinary women leading extraordinary lives.
It’s my privilege today to interview Susie McLiery, who is an avid folk musician who has had a myriad of fascinating experiences playing with Spud Siegel, Kid Siegel, Polly Norris, David Quinton, holding dances at the Netel Grange in Clatsop County and playing at the Jewell Harvest Festival.
She and her partner Jim Boswell played with Michael Zametkin and Jim Fink.
Susie was a programmer for KMUN from 1984 until recently with the Gospel Music Show and became a jack of all trades at the station, eventually becoming the program director in ’87.
As a kid she lived in Vermont and spent summers at Martha’s vineyard where they had a house. It was there that she was introduced to folksters such as Tom Rush, Maria Muldar, Chambers Brothers, the Islanders and The Weavers. James Taylor was her neighbor.
