Sue Foley IS a great guitarist for sure. I've seen her play live and even
photographed her. I was totatly amazed by her talent. No need to get offended by
calling her "...the top female guitarist in Canada" though. Even Sue herself
differentiates. She is documenting great female singer/songwriter/guitar players
in history in her Guitar Woman book and web-site www.guitarwoman.com . The fact
that she is a female guitarist does make her different. It is in no way a slight
on her abilities to state that she is a female guitarist or "the top female
guitarist". Even the Music Awards Ceremonies recognize male and female artists
separately. She's coming back to my part of the world so that's pretty cool. Sue
Foley knows how to Rock!!
