"We listened to your CD on the way out and one of my girls said
'Mommy she doesn't look like she sings...she looks quiet but she sings sassy J!'
I thought that was hilarius (but kinda true)...you have a soulful voice."

"Laurece's performance is joy. Her singing is so pure. It left me feeling deeply touched - I cannot explain how, but something opened up a bit inside of me, and I found myself crying on the way home.
And the music itself is beautiful. I have enjoyed listening to the CD and discovering new things each time I play it."
