I happened to listen to an interview with your group on KQED and immediately fell in love with the music and performance. After my son was born in April of this year, I found that nothing soothes him, as playing your music on the iPod in my car. It probably has something to do with the fact that he heard the same music (a lot) when he was still inside me. So, I would like to say thank you for the beautiful music you have created and performed and thank you for ‘being there’ for some of the most important moments of my life.";

testimonials[22] = "I have had the pleasure of hearing Vocolot in concert twice. Both times I was enthralled. Linda even gave a little workshop the day after one of the concerts. This was wonderful for the temple choir and all singers. It's great to have a group that sings in Ladino and Yiddish, many groups/singers choose one or the other. ÊI thoroughly enjoy their music and have two of their CDs. Their music has me walking on air and just begs me to sing with it. Vocolot is dark chocolate for the ears. ";
