We were blessed when we found you …
Never have I heard such fantastic music!!! Kay and Friends really outdid themselves. I was laughing, crying, calm and dancing! It would be hard to imagine a more delightful afternoon than was last Sunday.

I sang all the way home. What a lovely afternoon, to experience the many talents of Kay and Friends! I plan to share your schedule with all my friends.
I’m still humming and tapping my feet to the fabulous music. It was a program I’ll never forget. What a wonderful talent God gave them and they all seem to love sharing it with everyone!
