Yes,because what we were going through was just to dangerous.Escaping lynch mobs and such.She was terrified.And if they caught up with us what would happen to her?It was the best decision as she came into her own with her own album which I consider to be the finest female rock album ever recorded.With Michelle Rene is was different because her Mother and Father were close behind so she had a lot of security around her on tour.But with Susan if they took us out we could not defend her.She did not want to go,and we did not want to let her go.on her part she went through a great deal of trouble and personal expense to hook up with us,and she was perfect.A consummate artist in her own right.We had to put her on a hound and send her home.Her safety was why.
