“I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed experiencing your composition, "Inchon" as performed by the Tarpon Springs High School Band, Robert Barfield, Director. I cannot thank you enough for creating such a powerful, poignant and dramatic piece.”

“Your music touched people, and inspired a lot of people to come to a junior high band concert who may not have come otherwise.”

“I cannot express how significant I think the Third Symphony will be. This work must be a landmark in your development. You made the story 3-dimensional and it lived on, through, and past the duration of sound. It has your voice, but its maturity and depth penetrated to the core. Bravo! ”

“Continue to inspire us, not by leading with a flag, but by sharing with us your wonderful connection to what it means to be human.”

"Your piece got a standing ovation in Carnegie Hall!" (Gemeinhardt Suite)
