Here's what others have to say:

"…I was floored that you could write such excellent songs in so many different genre. "Sizzlin' Sue" was a fabulous song, and I love the way you dealt with the temptation aspect in such a God-honoring way. What a breath of fresh air that song was! "Sunny Sunday..." was another delightful song, with very enjoyable lyrics and melody. It really draws you into a playful yet dignified story. Very tastefully done. But the one that struck me the most was "Longing for You," a song so well written that it makes me believe that you understand firsthand what that kind of loss feels like…"
JOSH PETERSON, Director of Music 1st United Presbyterian, Belleville, IL

"Having known and listened to Sally for years, I urge anyone who has an opportunity to seize a "Sally sighting" and pop into her performances. An adept and clever lyricist, the stories of her songs compel you to listen to the end to see how it all turns out."
PATRICIA URBICK, Mt. Vernon, WA

"As a previous club owner, I have a great respect for Sally as an entertainer, singer, composer and "Ambassadear" to all types who appreciate the rewards of music. Sally captured the hearts of all of our customers with her many talents."
JIM FEDERMAN, California
