"An evening with three songwriters:  Probably the best and most meaningful 2 1/2 hours of live performance music I've experienced outside of my church.  It was obvious the music came from the heart.  I especially liked Alan Shamblin.  His lyrics really grip the heart and soul." 

"Entertainment excellent - you should do a better job of letting people know what they will miss if they don't attend."
