Thanks to the Merrins for a fabulous evening of music and dance. I do not always enjoy playing outside (as a classical musician), but this was a fabulous event with nice, appreciative and large audience, great food trucks, and the grounds and special exhibit were amazing. Thanks very much for having us play.

Dear Ed,
We so enjoyed meeting you after our concert at the Waterlily Series. Thank you for supporting these wonderful events. I was also excited to read about your passion for ancient art, which I share.
All the best, Nancy Knowles
(Duo LiveOak)
