"What an incredible performance  ~  both cultural and educational!  Our middle school students truly enjoyed every moment of it.  Keep doing what you're doing!"

Naomi Howard, Elizabeth City Middle School

"The young people in our program enjoyed you and your presentation immensely. 
I must admit some skepticism in anyone's ability to entertain this age group (middle schoolers) with simple acoustic instruments and singing, but you were terrific! Your audience was involved and entertained for the full hour. Amazing!"
