Suwonneh's Music... Suwonneh was a member of a folk trio [with David Beede & Mark Treacy] well known around Gainesville Florida during the late 70s playing under the tongue in cheek name of "No Commercial Appeal." They played folk festivals, coffee houses and street corners from New Orleans to Maine, sharing their enthusiastic versions of American and British Isle folk tunes. Here are links to some songs from that era featuring Suwonneh's beautiful voice. In addition to singing Suwonneh played guitar, penny whistle, dulcimer and bowed psaltery.
