“I was totally mesmerized by your performance...your relationship with your instruments was awesome. You created joyful music and joyful images of life.” -- Barbara, Corning, NY


“The more we hear others, the more we are truly able to appreciate the difference you bring to fiddling.” -- Marybeth, Ithaca, NY


“Laurie's music reverberates in my soul...nyckelharpa, Hardanger fiddle...oh, to be so gifted with strings and a bow...” --Diana, Colorado


“You are one of the most precise fiddlers I have come across at contradances.  You are an excellent example of what good fiddling for dances should sound like.  Every note is played perfectly and perfectly placed.”  --Tim, Syracuse, NY
