"Aptly titled, this CD (Love via Music) runs through a gauntlet of sound and emotions throughout each song. The entire album seams to encompass the heart and soul of the singer, and each song has it's own reasons to make it your favorite. I don't think there is a bad song on the album, not even a skip over song. "
- Robin Hall, iTunes (May 03, 2011)

"I listened (spellbound), and then I listened to the whole CD again. WOW! I was, and am still, totally blown away by the originality of each piece, the heart and soul mingled with the rhythm and blues and laced with Jazz melding with pop.
