Wenona Scott sings Bonnie Raitt at The Lyric - Blacksburg, VA

Wenona Scott singing Bonnie Raitt's "Love Me Like a Man" for her opening number at the Lyric Theatre in Blacksburg on New Year's Eve 2009. She is performing as part of a musical group called Ryan, Paul and Friends. Paul Little and his son, Ryan Little, are professional musicians who sing and play various guitars and mandolins. Wenona sang two solos and several duets with Paul Little, also with Michael Anthony Williams, a professor at the Virginia Tech Department of Theatre Arts. Wenona is my niece... :)

Very talented singer...ahh...and guitar player as well. The theatre looks old and well preserved too. Those are the best venues in my opinion. I wanna tease a little about the date though, seems like "Back to the Future".New Years Eve 2009?Now that we're friends can I call you Bean_Blossom? :-)

Thanks so much, Thomas! This is my wonderful niece and her friends. The theater is lovely, it's been home to many programs for the Blacksburg community for many years. You are the only person to mention the NYE 2009 issue...but technically, that is correct. I had to look it up before I wrote the description...but it is technically the eve of the 2009 new year, not the 2008 new year. It looks funny though, doesn't it? And...YES, you can call me bean blossom... lol

Suze thanks for sending. Took me awhile to get here and I'm glad I saved your email all this time. Wenona is great. The music just flows through her. You know how lots of people sing over the top of a song? Wenona gets underneath it and gives it a new life. Janis Joplin did that too. Sure love to hear her version of A Peaceful Solution. Willie would too. Do you think she would do it? Thanks for sending me cool artists I might never find. xxoo Liz

I know you folks are very busy, Liz... am just glad you have time to hear some of the musicians I send 'round. I sent your request to Wenona... she's going to be about as blown away as I was when you folks asked me... :) She has a true blues voice and I'm so very proud of her. She's also an absolutely wonderful human being, very funny and smart. Sure hope she'll agree to do this! I'll bribe her with peanut butter or something... :) Always love to hear from you! Suze xx

Thanks, Rodney! She's gonna love this comment!! :))

Suze, that's great. Thank you so much. Maybe mix honey with the peanut butter. I will think positive and visualize Wenona singing Willie's song. If you run across any musicians you think might do a version of Willie's tune or create a video I'd be most grateful if you'd send them my way. Or if you find a peace video you like Willie has given us more leeway to feature other videos for peace. I just wrote Brad a pm and am visualizing him healthy and happy. Stay well, SIs. Liz
