So this is my big deal news page. This is where I get to share all the news that's exciting and well, exciting. Hmmm, let's see. I've got a new "Body Dome" here that my friend Mark in Jersey helped me order off of Ebay. Of course, instead of working out on it, I'm writing my news......

The talented folk at Plastic Crimewave (aka Steve Krakow) have added Sally to his amazing collection of Art/History published in the Chicago Reader titled "The Secret History Of Chicago Music" which is complimented by a radio show of the same name on WGN AM. Listen

"IN MY ROOM" CD Benefiting the National Multiple Sclerosis Society

Sally is proud to be included in a wonderful compilation recording put together by dear friend DC Anderson, an amazing cabaret singer/composer who's also in the National Touring Co of "Phantom."   This CD gathers together some of today's top songwriters as they choose a favorite cover song that they might "sing in their room."  From Mike Ried (Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me") to Christine Lavin (founder of the Four Bitchin' Babes and Folk Goddess in general) this CD offers a look into the hearts of composers as they each perform a song they adored, or "wished they'd written."

Sally chose "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield, to honor her South Chicago roots.

This beautiful CD will have 2 "release events" and Sally will be at both.

IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE!

As one of the founding "Mothers" of that Folk Supergroup, The Four Bitchin' Babes, Sally is releasing her fifth solo cd. This project celebrates her career as a touring musician, composer, author and actress.

This "Best Of Collection" is a gathering of fan favorites taken from her 4 solo Cds, bonus cuts of previously unreleased recordings, and official bootlegs of recent live performances! In addition to the 15 songs, the inside booklet contains Sally's personal writings of how each song lyric came to be.

Here's a chance to sample a variety of songs including, Wild Berries, Home Is Where The Heart Is (her song that Peter, Paul and Mary recorded), Little Girl Please Wait (duet with Janis Ian), The Return (Her Kerrville New Folk Winning song), My Friend Elaine, It's Been Said, (NEW) recorded live at the Madison Civic Center, and of course the title cut (ALSO NEW) A Woman's Gotta Do Her Thing. After 20 years of requests, she finally recorded "I Wanna Be An Engineer" written by Peggy Seeger. This CD is the Sally Fan Must Have.

"Your album is GREAT, so inspiring! Your timing on IT'S BEEN SAID is so dead-on. It's a master class in delivering a song with a great melody, a story to tell, all the while holding up a mirror for the audience to hear their own lives sung. How lucky a tape recorder was running."
Christine Lavin, BABE Ameritus

I GOT MARRIED!!!

Yep, that's right. I really didn't think it was in the cards for me. I had a nice first marriage, to Dan Green who co-produced all my recordings. Our divorce was amicable, friendly and not nearly as bad as some could be. I had come to terms with mowing the lawn and learning about retirement investments. I was all set to live my life as both the alpha guy and the alpha gal, but........

Well, after 6 years of being a single mom, I met Michael. We met, we dated, we got engaged, we bought a house, and we’ve manage to successfully blend our three kids. My EJ is now 20, his Max is 18 and Aaron is 16. The boys are wonderful, and EJ loves having a family. As do I.

SALLY IN PRINT

BITCHIN' BABE FALLS FOR KENT STAGE

Along with Big Biz News, occasionally there's some sort of goofball embarrassing news. This here would be one of those experiences that I know performers love to share with their pals!

Pictured here is the stage at Kent State's local Performing Arts Theater, which is privately owned and operated. They bring in wonderful acts like Joan Baez, Tom Paxton, Al Stewart, Christine Lavin, and of course, The Four Bitchin' Babes.

Check out the complete story of my “adventure.”

SALLY PERFORMS WITH "THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES"

When the National Touring Company of Eve Ensler's award winning play "The Vagina Monologues" got ready to perform in Columbus, Ohio, they invited our own Columbus Babe to join the cast. That's a huge honor and adds Sally to a world-class alumni list.

The Vagina Monologues gives voice to a chorus of lusty, outrageous, poignant, brave, highly original and thoroughly human stories. Based on interviews with a diverse group of women - from a Long Island antique dealer to a Bosnian refugee - the play brazenly explores the humor, power, pain, wisdom, outrage, mystery and excitement hidden in vaginas. Having seen The Vagina Monologues, no one - woman or man - will ever look at the world the same way again.

The Vagina Monologues was originally produced in an Obie Award-winning run in 1996 by HOME for Contemporary Theatre and Art at HERE. Since that time, it has toured the country and internationally, with performances in Jerusalem, Berlin, Athens, Zagreb and a hit run in London. The text of The Vagina Monologues has also been used in two wildly successful benefit performances entitled V-Day (1998 in New York and 1999 in London), in which Eve Ensler was joined by such stars as Glenn Close, Cate Blanchett, Winona Ryder, Susan Sarandon, Whoopi Goldberg, Marisa Tomei, Rosie Perez, Lily Tomlin, Kate Winslett, Melanie Griffith and Calista Flockhart. V-Day raises funds for organizations that combat sexual violence against women.

Sally Appears on WhaD'Ya Know

When Michael Feldman's nationally syndicated radio show, "Whad'Ya Know," was broadcast live from Ohio State's Mershon Auditorium, they invited Sally to appear as the musical guest. Sally grabbed this photo op so Babe Fans could see that Michael Feldman is way cute, a total babe, and who knew he'd be so tall?
