Everyone loves to listen to you, and we had lots of good

"Just want to let you know how much we appreciated (really enjoyed!) last night at the KROC Center. We lived in Latin America for 30 years, and you gave us an evening of unending memories. We especially appreciated the lovely rendition of LAURA. We have a Peruvian son and a Brazilian daughter, and souvenirs, objects and furniture to remind us of our beautiful years in Latin America. It seems God gave us the best years in each of the countries we lived in. Our thanks and best wishes to you all!"

"...This email cannot adequately reflect my (our) appreciation for all the
great music you brought to the festival...Nothing is better than great music (obvioulsy played by accomplished musicians) accompanied by great wine.
Without all the positive energy and exceptional music from all of you, it wouldn't have had the impact it did on the public, from both
Silverton and beyond....I heard only good comments. ...Looking forward to this as a truly great annual event....With respect and admiration, thank you."
