Talk to you then, I have an idea.

Great Sound, Great Voice

Leslie is a natural. She is especially good when she sings in Spanish. It makes one wish all music was written in another language. Bravo!

I am addicted to The Santiago Set. Each song on this album moves seamlessly from bluegrass to folk to Celtic to slightly jazzy. Leslie's voice is disarming, her lyrics revealing. Her soothing alto brings the listener through the highs and lows of leaving one's comfort zone and gaining new perspectives. The last song on the album, The Problem with the Atlantic Ocean: Santiago, expresses the pain of coping with departing from an idyllic situation and tells of the power of friendship that transcends language, culture, and distance. It brings me back to the sunny, spring days we spent on the terraced lawns of Boneval in Santiago listening to Leslie improvise lyrics and chords with musicians from seven different countries and she somehow made truly beautiful music. This woman is inherently talented and extremely versatile. I can't wait to hear her next perspectives on life and love.
