"All because of you mentioning
them as one of your house concerts a couple of times, I'm taking my son who
is in school at Tufts to see Antje Duvekot and Richard Shindell tonight in
Somerville, Massachusetts!! We were walking along the street and I saw
Antje's name on the Marquee of the local Somerville Theater. So it drew
me to the ticket window like a magnet, the way your house concerts drew me
before I unceremoniously moved to San
Francisco.
Without you, we would not be
going! So Thank you. Even though I now live in San Francisco, fond memories
of enjoying great music at your house concerts live on in my
mind!"
Michael Pierce
"I think what you are doing for
music is absolutely wonderful. You probably don't hear this enough, but it's
people like you who keep the music alive, and help make it accessible to all
the listeners. I saw that cool t-shirt with all the names of the people
who've performed at LilFest over the years... how totally cool!" -Sue
Fink

impresario. You're very effective at teaching others to love what you
love." Stuart Rosenberg
(and for all the people who read this,

to facilitate live music in your own community! -Nancy)
