"As straightforward and heartfelt as the introductory remarks on the liner notes, 'Beyond What I Can See,' delivers. 'Beyond...' combines folk and blues-driven melodies with deft arrangements to provide a satisfying listening experience you will want to repeat. It will touch you and lift your spirit." Dora Edelson, Singer/Songwriter, Maryland
"I am blown away by your CD. It is wonderful and really gives me greater insight into you and Doris. And speaks to my own struggles. Thank you for all the work you put into this.

"I am enjoying Dream and Dare right now. Thanks immensely for sending it to me. It's soothing and exciting; it's fun and solemn; it's mischievous and straightforward...... I'm such a fan of your harmonies too....."I Will Wait" has such ethereal voicings. Oh.......so does "Free to Fly," which I've heard you sing live. Marvelous arranging too." Ron Goad, SAW (Songwriters Association of Washington) Board of Directors, www.saw.org, FOCUS Vice-President www.focusmusic.org
"I love your CD, too! You guys have the sweetest harmonies! And your song themes are so reflective. I listened to it on the way to a show the other day, and some of the songs made me feel so peaceful! and that's just what I needed that day. Bravo!" Peter McCory, Award-winning Children's Music Songwriter/Performer www.petermccory.com
7/11/05: I am enjoying your new CD! I especially like The Ride and I Will Wait (maybe because those are the two cuts I end up listening to the most). Your harmonies are beautiful. Linda, North Carolina
7/12/05: Listened to your CD and enjoyed it. Your instrumental abilities amaze me. The songs have so many layers of meaning that they're new each time I hear them. Margo, California
8/30/05: I am blown away with your second CD! I was really moved with the depth of your song writing just after the first listen through, and you know how you love music even more after you listened a few times? Sue, California
9/07/05: I love the CD! My favorites are " I will Wait", "Holy Passion" and "O Tiny Child". You guys rock!! I am so happy for you, that the music is blessing so many. Connie, Florida
,10/8/05: I am playing your CD in the background that I received today in the mail! I just love it! I have just heard the whole CD with the words and am listening the second time. I laughed so much with Fly Away Home. I loved Free to Fly-- it's so beautiful and profound. I loved the surprise turn in The Ride, and the humble words of one who reaches out to Him in I Will Wait with its haunting melody. Actually all the songs have beautiful words and haunting lilting melodies very sensitively sung. Thank you! Miltinnie, Boston

8/23/06: I just wanted to let you all know (FINALLY!!) that I loved your last CD! I especially liked the song about Mary - I lent it to a friend that I was hoping would use it for "theme" for a women's retreat she's planning - but alas, she picked something else. Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing the next CD - and I promise I won't lose it!
Chris, Virginia
9/04/06: It was my joy to visit your website. The peace of the Holy Spirit was very evident-- "braeded" through your songs. May God use you both for His magnificent glory! Denise, Virginia www.denisedovel.com
9/20/06: I just wanted to let you know that Sharon (my wife) and I really enjoyed listening to you perform on July 1, 2006 at St. Elmos Pub and Coffee shop in Alexandria, Va. We had a great time and it was nice visiting both of you. Next, I wanted to let you know that a couple of weeks ago, our church praise band performed Amazing Grace Blues at our somewhat conservative church. The folks really got into the song by clapping and keeping beat with the song. The song was a great hit... This is just an example of the good works the two of you are doing and how it, in a positive way, affects other people’s lives. Mark, Virginia
9/30/06: You two are very fortunate people....you are mining life for all it's worth, which is a lot.... Bill Mulroney, performing songwriter, Virginia www.billmulroney.com

10/23/06: Awesome CD! Marcy, Virginia
10/24/06: I gave the cd I had of you and Sharon to one of (my friends). I think I just originally loaned it to her, but she liked it so much I didn't have the heart to have her give it back so told her she could keep it. From time to time she still mentions it and how much she enjoys your music. I'm glad you and Sharon are still making good music together. That must be so fulfilling. Louise, Thailand
10/31/06: Thanks so much for making your Radio Lane CD. Since I bought my copies on Sunday, I've been listening to your CD over and over again! I can't get enough of "On the Wings of Your Song"! I really enjoyed all of the songs! Thanks so much! I wanted to send one of your CD's to WPER 89.9/90.5 with a note to them about how your songs ministered to me. Have ya'll sent them a copy yet? Please let me know so I can send them one! Kaye, Virginia

5/30/07: I LOVE Radio Lane, it's my new favorite album. I have listened to it probably 10 times by now and shared it with a friend (we will be buying more copies). WOW. The music is so well-crafted, including the poetic lyrics, the vocals are beautiful, with wonderful harmonies, the production is outstanding, every song is fantastic, and the message is beautifully spiritual and uplifting. Highly vibrational and a wonderful tribute to the divine creator. Thank you for this beautiful music, it mends my heart Susan Savia, performing songwriter, Virginia www.susansavia.com

Ollie Ollie Oxen Free and Radio Lane. You also mixed your originals with covers well. Regards, Dan, Virginia
