“Programming this week has been superb.  Entertaining, inspiring & soothing.  Keep it coming.”
"Enjoying my 'introvert' time…having a really nice creative afternoon and listening to Foley Schuler on Blue Lake, my favorite to paint to. Stay healthy, everyone, and be kind to each other.”
“Thank you for staying on the air, providing a spot of peace and calm in the midst of all the madness!! I always love the music, but especially now, being house-bound.”
