"Hi Erich and Jenifer. I’ve been listening to your CD. It’s fabulous!! Your vocals are incredible. The saxophone work is lovely. The overall musical quality, musicians and production quality is superb. The songs you and Marty wrote are excellent. I hope you’re doing more—writing of original songs, that is. Chris Schwartz on “Fall Down” is tremendous. I just love this CD. It’s got funk, R & B, jazz…All of excellent quality. Bravo! I’m just blown away by your “Lonely Girl.” I’ll promote it however I can. Great job!!" --------Connie Leinbach, President, Berks Arts Council, Reading PA
