“Beautiful Music for the Heart Soul and Mind!! Sensationally Spectacular!!!”
“You are really brilliant!! I love it here! Blessings and success!”
“So freakin cool, so much fun, Love, Love, Love It !!!”
“Very refreshing! This is just fantastic! Excellence on so many levels!”
“The spirit of 69 is very present here. If that's one of the things you wanted to accomplish, well you've done it in spades. Let's drive to Woodstock now. Cheers, JP”
“bravo, nice music, love your style and your psychadelic visual word PEACE ”
“Amazing! You guys have really managed to capture the 'feel' of the Beatles, while being completely original. Well done!”
"Pictures in the Sky" is fabulous,you guys! Your band is amazing and the harmonies reminded me of the Beatles, but to tell you the truth, yours are better! IMAFAN!
“Now that is great music love it God bless”
“Wow. Made me feel younger. Great work.”
“very cool, love the vintage sound you have here on your page, God bless to you and your music.”
“more fun than a box of frogs!”
“Awesome music man "Talisman" is a great one!”
“cool, fresh take on a favorite old sound... groovy, baby... great harmonies... ringo style drums... top notch melodies... cheers”
“ Wow! Just totally blown away by you! All the best”
“Magical songwriting/vocals and sounds, authentically reborn for today's fans..... amazing!!!”
“Here's where you come if you wanna reject the notion that The Beatles called it quits in 1970. Plenty of accomplished acts out there covering The Fab Four, but recreating their spirit and sound with ORIGINAL music is such a wondrous rarity. Really astounding.”
“You give a meaning to the word "song" ! It'd hard today to find musicians like you. Love your songs !!!! Impossible not to be a fan....”
“TALISMAN, like the rest of your tracks, cuts cleanly and crisply through the genre clutter with a groove that slices directly to the heart with honest power. Like a sharp needle-of sweet truth and beauty it grabs, holds and sinks its hooks deep into my heart, impossible to ignore. This is music with teeth, heart, soul and big brass balls.”
“Authentic instrumentation. Beautiful songs with singing to match. Peace. Actually to achieve this sound is an artform in itself. Feeling truth in the attitude.”
“The Beatles have been reincarnated, and they are writing the solid new tunes we have all been waiting for!”
“I must have went to heaven. Uncanny! "Color Of Love," "Talisman" and "Love Forever" capture the essence of the Fab's "Rubber Soul/Revolver" period perfectly. Great vocal harmonies, Macca's melodic lead bass, the iconic guitar sound, the arrangements, production...and more. It's all there, and totally original songs to boot. An astounding achievement, Paul and Chris. Bonus: the historic 60s-style artwork is groovy.;) ”
“Dig it Dig it dig it!!!.....Very cool And GROOVY!!!.....You guys are Very original despite the obvious influnces...Amazing!!”
“Love Everything about the Kite Flyer! Very picturesque! Great moving Music and makes you want to soar through the Sky! Great work Everytime, WOW! You guys are Amazing!”
