I wanted to thank you. Singing and music have been my lifeline from a very grim personal place.  When I first started I was at a vulnerable, hurting time.  And the music healed…., the friendship of the others has been a help, but music itself has a power, music has been like  the water that has fed the blossom, cleaned the wound.”
