I met your cousin in the library of Ulster County Community College awhile back.  I was writing a paper about my experience of having my beautiful Baby Bonnie born still.  Your cousin helped me with some computer problem I was experiencing and we got to talking.  I woud like to send you my finished paper.  It is now completed.  Love, Jane

Richly talented, highly gifted.  In Mandy Rogers & Christa Wells, you have 2 singers of contrasting voice & singing style.  What’s the result?  They complement each other.  Ms. Rogers has a soft tone voice while Ms. Wells has a more hard edge to hers, which in a way lend more credence to their singing.  

On the songs, they are well-crafted with much thought & love going into the writing, music and production.  The songs are more in the vein of folk, some light-pop rock category – maybe think 10,000 Maniacs (shoot me if I’m wrong).  My favourites are ‘Can You Hear Me’, ‘Slip Away’, ‘Held’, ‘This is What We’re Here For’, ‘Stowaway’ but this is not to say the others are ignored.

Oh, have I mentioned the CD cover artwork?  Brilliant, hats off to Ms. Rogers.  The album title is ‘So Much to Tell You’ and what is the artwork on the cover?  

Rogers/Wells Project have presented to us a fine album.  Hope there will be more to come from them either as singers or songwriters.  Like it says in ‘Run’, “But then he knows when he needs his running shoes, He takes the road that has the view and he doesn’t go it twice, ‘Cause life is a great big adventure.”

I would have given them a 5 out of 5 but that would invite snickers from other readers coz I am a newly converted fan.  Thus, ‘So Much to Tell You’ gets a 4 out of 5 but with the comment, ‘Recommended’.

I won't be alone in saying that I came to discover this project by way of Christa's song "Held".  A very moving song, I felt driven to learn more about its inspiration, which ultimately led me to Rogers/Wells on MySpace.  I love the light arrangements, the blending of voices, and the variety of themes throughout the album.  Right now "Slip Away" and "Stay Awake" are getting a lot of rotation.  I hope to hear more from them soon.

The songs are great. The first time I heard them was on telly on sky TV by a channel called "Wonderful" in the UK. I recorded some of the songs because I just loved the melody. Well done.
