Well this is always nice to receive,thought I would share it with you.

Edwin Scribner commented:

” It was the name that got us in,but having made the effort we were not disappointed..Di and her trio make for great entertainment and all are highly skilled musicians. Her singing is comparable witht eh best in the business. Id like her to come to our part of the world but perhaps that might embarrass the local musos who,good as they are,dont really measure up to her”
