The full house of 50 were enthralled– there was a spontaneous standing ovation at the end. |
| Here's what the audience said: Thank you so much for organizing such a fabulous event. Starting with Terry will leave quite large shoes to fill. As far as your request to tell others about these events, I don't think I can do that as having had such a great time on Friday and seeing that it was sold out I don't want to take a chance at not getting tickets for the rest of the shows. I'll tell people anyway, because it was just so good.
-D.C. We enjoyed it immensely. Terry's music and personal conversation with everyone throughout the evening was magical.
