Press Reviews "I was very impressed ... Their sound is rather similar to Steeleye Span, but with a modern drive that not only can't, but shouldn't be stopped." - The Renaissance Herald, national quarterly . . . . . "First, let me tell you how impressed I am by your tape. The writing, performance, production values and packaging are all very high-level. I enjoyed it very much, and you can be proud to send it out." - Natalie Windsor, Associated Press music division . . . . . "This is indeed very nice stuff. It comes and is nice and it becomes one's friend." - Radio Free Willy, freelance writer . . . . . "My wife loves it, I love it, and my daughter frequently falls asleep to it with a smile on her face, or if she's not tired, singing along as best she can at two years old. It was like falling in love while eating an ice cream sundae on the Fourth of July while the fireworks go off overhead." - Alex Roston, fan . . . . . "I liked that Rhododendron song. That was cool." - Dan Bern, singer-songwriter . . . . . "I'm actually at a loss for words to express the enjoyment I obtained while listening. Probably the last artists to push this particular musical button were Simon and Garfunkel. It's been a while since I've had the pleasure of receiving real communication through music. My imagination had quite a run." - Troy Martin, musician . . . . . "I love the tape... it is wonderful indeed; full of magic and charm! Bravo!" - Michael Piper, independent music distributor . . . . . "I'd like you to know that I still listen to No Jumping From Bridge at least a few times a week, every week since it's been in my possession, in '92." - Lily Chang, fan (in late 1993). . . . . "I collect any interesting album around the world and I must say your band it's one of the best of this kind of music. My friend here in Switzerland he's friend in California, drive in car they listen radio. The track they liked so much, to call the Radio-Station. And so receive the Tape. I offer you to play here in Zürich." - Giulio Bombardieri, fan . . . . . "I haven't stopped listening to your tape since I got it. Your music just touches something in me that makes me think and gets me looking at the world differently." - Diana-Lynn Dewey, musician . . . . . "I really do think your music is beautiful, and I'm glad you're still making it." - Khrys Kambitsch, fan
