"Hi, Ryan, Thanks so much for the CD. It’s great! I didn’t want to get out of the car this morning because I was still listening to it. You were right, I love the arrangements; they’re captivating. The person on hammered dulcimer is very talented, too. It adds a lovely touch. That “Swinging on a Gate” you mentioned is really nice, too.

Thanks again."
