“Hey Ed. I think Ride Out The Storm is a very good production.   I played the title song yesterday.  That's a cool song!  I'll be playing more from your CD in the future.  It's always a plus to play the local talent.  And I also liked Jack's rendition of ‘God Bless America’.  He will be missed for sure.” — Mike Fitzgerald DJ/ Producer of Fitzgrass on WEBR in Fairfax, VA

“Hi Ed! I wanted to thank you for the CD.   It's a really strong CD and I wish you well.   My next song is 'Jesus, Take My Mother!' .  I do it in E- though B is more banjo friendly. ” —Michele Green

“Dick and I listened to “Ride Out the Storm” and were delighted to see how many songs, and good ones, you’ve written.   We think your band has a great sound.  I’m impressed with the banjo player, too.  I’m also impressed by your ability to yodel!  Your song 'Jesus, Take My Mother' is especially poignant.   Yes, I think we pray that those who suffer will be released.  You are skillful to get that into a song. ” —Jane and Dick Mannring
