In August you performed at a benefit for my mom, Nancy Carol Baughey. She was thrilled with that performance. She talked about it for several weeks how wonderful and thoughtful your group was. It is with sadness that I am telling you this as my mom passed away on Friday, 9/07/12 at 7:30pm. Her visitation is Wed 2-4 & 6-8 @ Brown Van-Hemert in Hudson & Service is Thurs @ 1:00. Thank you again for making her feel so special and so happy.

Great job at the Ark last night with Mark O'Connor, everyone!

Alyssa, great job on singing Giliese 581D. I heard you for the first time at the Hometown show in the winter and you were great. Last night was even better. Keep it up - beautiful singing!

Just saw the group at Sammy Thompson's Plow Day. I was really impressed with the group. High energy and very entertaining. I bought one of the CDs and if I had had enough money I would have bought one of each. I didn't even know this group existed and will definitely be telling my friends and family about this amazing group. They should all be proud. Well done.

Kelly
Canton, MI

We were lucky enough to have a free, front and center seat to watch the SF perform. The performers are truly energetic and amazing.

We saw their talent on display on Wed. 8/1/12 when they were performing for the Plymouth Music in the Park Summer Series. Our group included children whose ages ranged from 14 to 2 and a good time was had by all!

Thank you for the fun afternoon of entertainment!

WoW!!! That was the fastest 1.5 hours of my life!!! I simply cannot believe that that was a free concert and it was our incredible honor to put a donation in your hat. We will be ordering your CDs soon. In the meantime, I have posted your website on my FB wall and am emailing everyone I know about your concert in Howell tomorrow night. Thank you for each one of you shining so brightly in a world that is often very far from that. Each one of you has left a permanent impression on me and I will simply never forget your performance tonight. What a treasure you are. It horrifies me to remember that we almost stayed home because of the rain!

Thank you again and again.

Debbie Vigh

Caught your show tonight at the D&E Auditorium--- you all are crazy talented and just delightful to watch. Wasn't sure my 6 year old would hang in for the length of it (with 9 p.m. being her usual bedtime), but when I asked her about leaving during your set break, she answered, "No WAY, Mom! I want to stay and see that rock star guitarist!" (Eric, the bass player). :) New fans in all of us here, and thanks for a really wonderful show. Best to you all.

Hal & Donna James

This is a "DON'T MISS SHOW". We really enjoyed watching these young adults put on a fantastic show. Lots of energy and the kids could not hide the fact that they were having a great time performing. Their hard work and dedication have blessed them with a great talent. Hope you'll get back to the area in the near future.

Attended your concert in Georgetown, SC last evening. The house was sold out. Your talent is amazing, this is one of the BEST concerts that I've ever attended.

Best wishes and good luck to each of you to continue bringing enjoyment to the world.

My granddaughters and I watched you perform last night in Swartz Creek. We loved the performance. You did such a wonderful and lively performance, it kept a 6 and 5 year old totally captivated the whole time. They danced and sang right along with you. It brought back memories of my grandfather as he was a fiddler player too. This was their first outdoor performance and they are already talking about going back next week. You have fans for life, keep up the excellent work.

Wally and Diane Roberts
Clio, MI

We enjoyed your concert at Swartz Creek this evening. Bought a CD and will continue to enjoy your music. Thanks for being there, it was a pleasure watching and listening to your group.

You all did a FAB-U-LOUS job at the CD Release concert on Friday night! The energy was contagious and the music continues to get better and better everytime I hear it. The passion that you put into your performances makes me miss being in Fiddlers. :) Keep up the good work and have fun!

The Saline Fiddlers did an awesome job Saturday for my husband's retirement party. In attendance was Congressman John Dingell and his wife Debbie, the mayor of Saline Gretchen Driskol, UAW Region 1A director Rory Gamble and lots of other folks would sang your praises all night long!

You all made Jim's party a huge success.

THANKS AGAIN!!!
