Mailbox - Letters from Fans

"The students enjoyed your songs so very much and I can't keep your books in the library. They are always checked out. So . . . thank you so very, very much. You were delightful and such a great addition to our children's book week celebration."

Gratefully,
Susan Melsheimer

Mailbox - Letters from Fans

"I just wanted to say thank you. My daughter is a student at an elementary school in Pearl River and every morning she and her class mates listen to your music with their teacher. She loves your music, so much that I am going to order your cd's for her for Christmas!"
