When she left home, she launched herself on a slingshot around the world, landing finally in the Midwest on the south shore of Lake Erie.

Weber was experimenting with various songwriting and musical styles, performing solo at times, and moving in and out of several acoustic ensembles. She began studying electric guitar with Michele Temple (of Pere Ubu.) It was then that Weber and Campbell met up again (they say they don't know if it was chance, fate or providence) and melded their skills in a rock band dubbed Susan Weber and Monet's Orbit. They co-produced (along with Jay Bentoff, their engineer) the rock album Monet's Orbit, eleven Weber originals backed with a rock trio of Weber (guitars and lead vocal), Campbell (bass and harmony) and Trees Mausser (percussion) with special guests John McGrail (lead guitar) and Chris Solt (percussion).

For several years, they played the hometown rock venues and festivals. Weber was named Best Female Singer-Songwriter by the local alternative press, and Monet's Orbit was lauded among the top ten local CDs of 2007. Economic realities and personal commitments led to the break up of the band in 2008.

Weber and Campbell continued to work together for the next three years. They both felt drawn to the creative possibilities of an acoustic duo. Their latest incarnation, Muscle and Bone, was born in the anticipation of a Bob Dylan concert in 2010. Campbell, a Dylan enthusiast since high school, had given Weber some selected Dylan songs from his collection prior to the concert. He was in New York City walking through the elevated rail park when his phone rang -- it was his partner Susan suggesting that they develop performances of Dylan's music. The following week Campbell returned to Cleveland, and the two began rehearsals. A six song EP and the live debut of Muscle and Bone followed.

Walt Campbell muses that on occasion he felt his whole life was meant to culminate with Monet's Orbit. He never dreamed, he says, that there could be another artistic peak he would seek with Susan Weber, or that it would be Muscle and Bone.
