“ It was a very nice circle. We had adventures looking for mysterious sounds, visits from far away travelers, holiday songs and a great new Christmas Carol from Alan. I'm predicting this song, "The Gift" will become a standard. What a tremendous song, and the sentiment is universal. I was honored to sing harmony with Alan. ”

“ Alan is great, I walys like hearing him and the new Christmas song with Jeff is fantastic. ”

“ Amazing voice, his songs touched my heart and my funny bone! Fabulous! Thank you! ”

“ Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit and plan to attend again - next time with a guitar. I liked the idea of the playing circle. Without wishing in any way to limit the spontaneity of the occasion, one option might be to circulate some of the songs from individual contributors before in hand (lyrics and chords) so that players have a chance at least to think about what is coming up if they want to. Alan James is a class act Patrick ”

“ Very entertaining! ”
