"Thank you for the most Astonishing week - as one of the other participants said: - This was all that I expected and then some - I couldn’t agree more!! I return home with a suitcase full of inspiration, friendship and new ideas, and a Big Nudge to work more on my music & “get it out there”, in “whatever way”. You really did a fantastic job of coordinating everything, and I know you had help from many others, so a big “hats off” to you All!!!"

“The pleasure was all mine. Just back home to Colorado last night. Our last lunch together was a great way to cap off an excellent week, among other things, boosted motivation to keep writing songs. Maybe [the] best takeaway was hearing great songs and stories. Nothing beats that feeling of hearing a truly great song.”
