Testimonials

The Sparrow Takes Flight

“Dear Barbara, great album, love the Irish & the song to the patients & all.”
Aloha, George Winston

“My wife, Maureen, and I are really enjoying your CD. Beautiful. I don’t know if I mentioned this to you, but I have a very narrow definition of what I like. Your voice and song choices are exactly what I like. Thank you.”
David Bennett Cohen (Former band member of Country Joe and the Fish)

“Hey Girl, did you ever sing opera? Your voice is beautiful. Thanks for the CD.”
Diane Ponzio, Singer-songwriter, Martin Guitar Company

“Your CD is lovely, Barbara. “How can I keep from singing” has been an all time favorite of mine. And so many of your originals are enjoyable even in their initial hearing. What a lovely voice you are…in many ways!”
Patricia Campbell, PhD, School of Music, University of Washington

As the spiritual leader of the church, I have appreciated her enthusiasm and willingness to collaborate on creating the service with me, always choosing the perfect songs to support the theme of the day. Her presence and her music inevitably enrich our Sunday experience.”
