I've been LOVING your CD - hmmm, it's hard to pick favorites, but I'd say the first track, "Light a Candle" and the 9th -
"9 Blessings" are the ones I could listen to over and over again. I also love the one you wrote about being tired,
Come to Me. Thanks for sharing your songs!

Also, I really like the CD. I like the whole Cd but two especially are my favorites. One is "Come to me" and the other
is the one with just piano. The title is "Keep Me Safe". One day I listened to it over and over because I recognized
the melody but not that title. It did finally come to me that I know it as "Thy Holy Wings". Beautiful.

I wanted to let you know I played the music at our shawl meeting last night and everyone really enjoyed it. Pastor kept
mine last night so she could listen to it in peace! And the art is beautiful.

I bought the CD and I was wondering if I can buy a copy of the music and words to Come to Me and If My Shawl Could
Sing.
My choir would love to sing these two songs at church and our choir concert. I would like to tell the people about our
shawl ministry and then sing the songs.

Note from Chris - Getting the music on paper is my summer project. I will have it available online as soon as I can.

This week I took your Prayer Shawl CD to a 90 yr old friend. She loves it! She wants to buy several!!! This friend will
really get the CD around, she has a daughter in Seattle who is in a prayer shawl group there. Isn't this exciting?
Congratulations!

I listened to the songs several times and enjoyed them. I took out the little folder and read the messages about
composing each one... For me it meant a lot to know the inspiration for each song. My favorite one was "Keep me
Safe" in which I could hear you solo. Chris, I have been in music a life time. I even had a stint with an Army Band just
after WW2 and no accompanist has inspired me more then you. It is because you put your very being into the music.
This was again the case in your compositions. Thanks, Ev S. Minnesota

I plan to bring your CD to my fourth grade CCD class and play Big World House, along with reading a book about Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. and then have the class pray for peace and community. The next lesson is about being faithful
in marriage, I'll bring you to class again and play 9 Blessings 9, then have the kids pray for homes and marriages.
We have a large well known Christian Bookstore in Southington, called Patrick Baker & Sons. I believe they would
love to have your music in their store, for all to hear... Thanks for blessing us ALL with such a great gift! Lisa,

We didn't have a CD player here (in Santa Isabel) but got one at Walmart and I listened to your CD yesterday. It is
wonderful. You must be so proud of it. I did want to read the words to the songs but couldn't get them up on your
website. I got a new computer here a couple of years ago and have an up-to-date AOL program but don't know much
about computers. Congratulations again on a very fine contribution to the prayer shawl effort. Lois H., Santa Isabel,

I bought your CD and put it on right away in the car. I had such a close experience with God right there in the car,
that I had to turn it off and wait until I got home. I had no idea that was going to happen. This music is so powerful
and peaceful at the same time. It will change people. Kathy, Minnesota

Congratulations on a wonderful project. I'm sending the other copy to a missionary friend in Singapore. Judy,

I'm born again through your music, I can't thank you enough! It's the answer to my prayers, your music speaks to my
heart and gets me back on track! I've been struggling since we moved, doing the fake it till you make it, starts to
wear on you after a while. I made attempts to connect with friends at church and school although, I was becoming
disconnected and building a wall. I would always sing songs of going home, never feeling comfort only feeling sorrow
and further away. Your music has brought me home! Thanks Chris for being our angel on earth. We love you, God
Bless You! Lisa S., Connecticut

I got your CD in the mail yesterday! I'm listening to it right now. It turned out amazing! It's weird, I remember you
playing a couple of the songs for me when they were in the works. Wow. Wow..."Keep me safe" is playing now. I
love it. Have a wonderful afternoon! Kenzie, a college student in Texas

What a monumental and beautiful project you have created! The CD from you arrived last weekend as we were
departing for a 3-hour drive to a college reunion, so we took it along and enjoyed it as we drove. I have never heard
of the shawl project, but it is an idea that must have vast reverberations in the tally of good deeds in the world.
I thought the cover art was outstanding, and was impressed not just with the music, but with your stories of how each
piece came to be. I know that you have a huge creative gift, but now I realize that you are tapping into a resource
that is bigger than just your talent! Congratulations, and all the best for the success of this venture. I know that
"success" means more than money for you, and that wider definition is what I am wishing for you as well. With
admiration, Karen, Illinois

Wow! I have been waiting to reply until I could tell you my favorite song on your CD; at this point I have given up: I
love them all. When I listen (and I have multiple times), with each song I say, "This is the one"..... and then the next
song starts. The words come to my consciousness throughout the day -- and different songs, at that. Right now it's
"it'll be alright in the end", but I think all of the vocals have occupied a place in my conscience the last few days (they
take turns, nicely!). (My husband) Paul says "It's an impressive collection of songs", and he thinks the catchiest is
"Between the cross and a hard place". I love the variety -- in genre, the mix in vocals and instrumentals, the variety
of instruments, the variety of voices. You did great! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world -- you have
already made a difference in the lives of those who have heard it. And I can hardly wait to share it with my loved
ones -- watch for an order in the mail. Linda, Minnesota

I am listening to your CD and it is simply a triumph! What wonderful, uplifting, comforting music you have created!
Thank you so very much for sharing this with me...and the world! Warmly, Aricia, L. Colorado
