Susie Meissner: I Wish I Knew

Read "I Wish I Knew" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

I wish I knew why the talented Philadelphia-based singer Susie Meissner chose to open her salute to the Great American Songbook with the only tune on the album that doesn't really qualify: Curtis Lewis' “The Great City."
