In May of 2001 a small group of people began holding Sunday services on the south side of St. Louis. Susan decided to drag out her old guitar and do some church songs. She began setting familiar Bible passages to original music and eventually she attempted setting a Bible story to music. The result was the song ?Jairus' Daughter?. She kept writing, was joined by Carey and Sue and over the years they have written hundreds of songs, produced 9 CDs, toured the country, and some of their songs have become hymns for congregational use.
That first congregation was deeply touched by those first solos, so in early December of 2002, Susan made a recording of 13 songs to share with family and friends. The response from these gifts was nothing less than astounding. People found comfort and healing in these folk hymns, and soon there were requests for ?Sweet Sacred Solos?.
