Quotes:

"The CD arrived and this weekend I took it along on my two hour drive...and listened to it all the way.  Played it every night and morning as I drove 20 miles out of downtown, played it driving back in the morning, played it as I went to lunch, to dinner.  Played it on the two hour drive back.

IT IS WONDERFUL!!!  Your voice is rich and subtle, magnificently modulated, ringing with authenticity, masterful in control, capable of Broadway belting of the the first order, funny and tender and still redolent...

And the musical support is of a piece with your vocal work.  I noted that [Rich Kelly] is credited with writing words and music for St. Patrick’s Day.  Could have fooled me.  Everything sounds like it was composed in “the old country” at least a century ago.  I mean that as a real tribute to his writing skill.  And the instrumentals throughout are deeply engaging-- “compelling,” a word used to indicate a great value."
