It's my favorite track of the year. If I ever make a film, this would be the best score ever. I have been playing Mama here, Mama gone repeatedly for months. It’s my favorite track of the year.

Also some of the pages load so slowly that some people might say screw it, and just shut it down. If you could get a mobile link? Other than that your site has emotional impact that is over the top. Especially for me as another bastard. Maybe Spock said it best. Live long and prosper. It is very difficult to surf your site with buying in mind.

Last year I found my birth-mother and made contact. Hearing your songs from the Foundling and the stories behind them was a moving experience. Thanks for sharing what for some is a very private and personal experience. My quest turned out much different than yours and there are still many stories and songs that have yet to come of it. As a guitarist and occasional songwriter you have inspired me to sit down and once again put pen to paper. Thanks so much. Greg Mary,

I don't know what to say because the word "brilliant" just doesn't do it justice. You are the greatest songwriter of the 21st century. Just heard “The Foundling”.

I essentially cried for 1.5 hours straight. Your performance was gracious, charming and the songs from The Foundling were devastatingly painful. I didn't know of you before tonight, and came to see Mindy, but wow, you were wonderful. I saw your show at Old Town tonight and was so moved. I essentially cried for 1.5 hours straight.

Thanks for sharing your story and talent. Never have I been so moved at a concert! Your writing reminds me of Nelson Algren's work. (best book to start with is "Neon Wilderness", in my opinion) It was also great to hear that you've been involved with prison inmates and recovery. It would be a treat if you could expand your contributions with some musical performances. If you are ever in Iowa again, I'd be glad to arrange a visit to one of the women's prisons. Have fun in Stockholm! Great city and delightful in June. Wish I could make the trip too. I will tell my Swedish friends to catch your show. What an amazing show in Cedar Rapids!

The whole audience was BLOWN AWAY. I am in awe of how you can give so much in your performance. Thank you so much. I saw you earlier this evening in Cedar Rapids. The whole audience was BLOWN AWAY.

I saw you for the first time last night, too, and didn't know what to expect. You drew me right in, though, and you've got a new dedicated fan. I loved the songs you did leading in, but was completely captured by you playing The Foundling start to finish. What an incredible work, so powerful. It's obviously an extremely personal story in which you've invested enormous energy, thought and emotion, but it's universal in its reach. I'm so glad I bought one from you last night and have listened it through again since. It's fabulous. Okay, so a small complaint: I want to buy more and ship them off to a couple of friends, but the store lonk on your site is broken. I hope you can get it up again soon. What Kari said, yes!

You rocked that small intimate venue and at the same time had us mesmorized by your powerful "Foundling" project. Suffice it to say, your better known co-bill couldn't keep up. It may have been my first time listening to you, but not my last. Thanks! Kari Mary,
