The Suzi Arden Show
Moderators: rickenbrother, ajish4
Great work Carole. This is quickly becoming a most informative collection of Suzi Arden material. You are correct, I am thoroughly enjoying these photos and newspaper clippings.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

The Darden Family Bluegrass Festival website has some nice pictures of Suzi and her family. Here is a link or you can copy it into your URL.

John, if you will indulge me for a little bit of history. When I was in high school, Suzi Arden was working for an all-girl western group called Abbie Neal and Her Ranch Girls. I was the Publicity Director for Abbie's Fan Club. They were winners of the Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts Show in New York City and later had a TV show that aired in Pittsburgh, PA. They were all our "stars" as we were growing up. The NC festival reminds me of those early days when we all had so much fun together. Lou Christie, of rock 'n' roll Lightning Strikes, was a member of the fan club. He has attributed Abbie with getting him interested in show business and has given them a very nice tribute on his website, http://www.lou-christie.com/abbie.html.
The picture he shows on the cover of Abbie's CD (it features Suzi Arden) should have been this one. Lou didn't have it available to him so he used another of Abbie's very talented bands instead. In this picture, Suzi Arden is on the left. June Mayes and Candy Lange were the other Ranch Girls. At a later date, Suzi and Candy, worked as a duet on the Red Foley Show in Springfield, MO, until Candy fell in love, had a bundle of kids, and retired to Florida. By the way, I like your "inForum-a-tive." Very clever.
