Susan was originally a vocal piece written in Bloomington, Indiana. That version was sung by David Gunnip and Rushmore DeNooyer and then by David Gunnip and Dianne Rascona in New England and in the Virgin Islands. Rushmore lobbied for the instrumental arrangement; Malcolm was hesitant, but Rushmore was right.
