“Hi Janet, Just a quick but heartfelt thank-you for your music. You have a devoted following here in western Montana, and a small group gets together regularly to play your ensemble music. We cannot get together without playing “America the Beautiful” and sighing, loudly, collectively. “Ohhhhhh, so beautiful”–it’s becoming funny! Thanks for giving us so much pleasure!”
