Your visit to Naramake School was wonderful. I bought one of your CD's and my kids just love it. They listen to it every night at bed time they must know every song or story by now, they are always singing the songs. We are also trying to make some of the instruments. I just wanted to say thank you and please keep up the good work. — Erica Hines, Naramake School, Norwalk, CT

A Wonderful assembly! The performance was captivating. The kids were mesmerized from the time they entered the auditorium.
