The Space Lady ~ Major Tom

(lurgee)
1 decade 5 months 2 weeks ago

A friend just posted this on fb. I really dig it.

The Space Lady is San Francisco's most enchanting street musician. Whether on keyboard or accordion, her music stops sidewalk traffic even in this multi-task town. The Space Lady usually performs wearing a whimsical steel helmet with angel wings, which makes her easy to recognize but belies the credibility of her haunting vocal interpretations of well known songs. Mister SF always requests Time After Time or Spanish Harlem. A San Francisco favorite is Over the Rainbow, of course. The Space Lady, whose real name is Susan Dietrich, made only a full length CD of San Francisco sessions for sale. The disc features Susan performing live on Casio with effects. You haven't heard Ghost Riders in the Sky until you've heard the Space Lady sing it. A few of her tracks, including her underground hit version of Major Tom, are also featured on some compilations.
