"On behalf of all the individuals who heard you, I thank you for an inspiring talk and performance. Many who heard you have contacted me to say how much they enjoyed your performance and how deeply your songs have affected them. Your music has a direct connection to our inner selves. It transcends verbal communication and goes straight to something inside of us. It brought joy, thoughtfulness and inspiration to me and to the others who heard you."
