"Salem 66 was an indie-rock group formed in 1982 by Judy Grunwald, Elisabeth Kaplan and Susan Merriam. At the time, a serious almost-all-female rock band was somewhat unusual. This release is part of a compilation of all the vinyl-only releases. Susan is my friend. When I met her (in our restaurant days), she was just starting to pursue her interest in art history, eventually being accepted to doctoral program at Harvard.

She teaches at Bard, and was involved for some time in their Prison Project. "
