When Christine first told me about Swan Songs and what
she was trying to do, I thought what a wonderful, caring
and good project it sounded in every way. However, when
she told me that a lady, terminally ill with cancer, had
requested that she would enjoy hearing some of my songs,
I felt a mixture of apprehension and curiosity...

After traveling around and singing to people in theaters
and clubs I have to say that the hour I spent in that
living room gave me more of a sense of purpose than my
usual stage show. Christine made it so easy for me to do
a small thing that had an immediate impact of joyful
family togetherness. It was an honor to be included in
that.

Christine Albert and her
group have come up with a wonderful idea for giving to
someone what might be their last opportunity to
experience something that was a significant part of
their life and probably one of their passions in
their days of yester-year...

I
was so blessed recently to do another Swan Songs
performance. What a wonderful experience to sing with
someone during the holidays. The client’s daughter was
able to come and it just meant so much to her. Thank
you, again, for the opportunity!
Evelyn Page
Thanks again for all your doing here. It's great to hear
the response and that my music helped. Still a powerful
experience for me. So thank you again for the
opportunity!

Christine, we had a wonderful time. They were tapping
their feet and singing along. I’d love to do it again
when someone wants old-time music.

Last weekend, I had the privilege and honor to be the
accompanist for Kathy Blanchard at a concert for _____.
I was not quite sure what to expect. After meeting
family and friends and doing the concert, I left with a
feeling that is almost indescribable. To be together
with friends and family and to enjoy the gift of music,
knowing that it might be the last time to do so, is such
a wonderful and beautiful idea. This makes far better
sense than seeing these people during the funeral of the
ill person. I have shared this with my choir director
at church in hopes that others may share their gift in
such a beautiful setting. I hope to be able to do this
again.

Thanks for having me Christine..........It was a moving
experience for me and I am so glad you received positive
feedback. I am proud I could be included in the Swan
Songs project and hope to be called upon again.
