House Concert testimonial: “We scheduled a Friday evening and invited 25 of our neighbors and friends to join us on our deck. It was a delightful evening in every respect. Carrie was in her usual great form, singing her marvelous ballads, tickling the keyboard ivories in her relaxed style, and adding to the charm of the music by sharing many of the events and people which had inspired her compositions. We fully plan to repeat this wonderful experience.” - Sarah and Bruce J.
