"Linda captivated my class of first graders with her stories and songs." Holly Lundguist 1st grade teacher, Rhodes School River Grove, IL
"Her ability to play to different audiences is impressive. I've seen her perform both children's and women's music. Whatever their age, people enjoy her music and spirit, and walk away afterwards smiling and singing." Ann Christopherson Women & Children First Bookstore Chicago
"Linda has an amazing voice! She was able to truly reach the hearts and minds of everyone within earshot - even passers by stopped to listen. She sang in several languages with the highest level of artistry and understanding. She was an extremely versatile emcee. As if by habit she translated all of our informational messages on the spot into Spanish for the non-English speaking Hispanics in our audience. We will definitely invite her back again."
