"....superb dulcimer playing.... In fact, I found myself wondering,"How in the world does she do that?" as I listened to the dulcimer mirror what the fiddle was playing, note for note. This is a wonderful contradance recording." - Neal Walters (Dulcimer Player News)
"If your musical background stops at the Mason-Dixon line on its way north, you might expand you purview by listening closely to this album"... - Lyle Lorgren (Old Time Herald)
"...shows a fine flair for melody and rhythm...A nicely arranged and lively collection of music." - Jim Lee (Dirty Linen)
"This album rocks!" - Peter Barnes
"Wow! Imagine my surprise at getting your site and Charlotte's Waltz when I entered the name into my search engine! I love this waltz! I enjoy your playing and your 'Waiting for the Perseids' album. It's my new favorite. Many of the songs are ones I play on my fiddle. Now I will add this beautiful waltz to my song list. Thanks again." - Deb from Florida
