On the westbound train that fateful night, openhearted drifters made their way past graffiti covered walls and torn vinyl seats and sat on the metal stairway, smiling, nodding their heads and tapping their toes: young mothers danced with radiant toddlers and a young traveller silenced her Sony Walkman and decided to listen to the guitarist who had got everybody’s attention. She liked what she heard and encouraged him with a sweet smile. Two days later he had proposed and they pledged to make music together ‘till death do us part’ There have been distractions and challenges on the way, they survived James’s early dalliances with the Banjo…it was a painful and dangerous time until at last he had tamed the fretted beast. Sue inspired by the virtuosity of John Hammond and Gillian welch overcame ridiculous stage fright and with James became 2/3 of “Sue Daley and the Sea of Heartbreak” Created the critically acclaimed CD “Tales of Whiskey and Sugar” and supported Kane, Kaplin and Walsh
