 “I came by to listen to your lullaby yesterday and I was mesmerized
 and shed a few tears. First I must say that your songwriting
 is stunning, the lyrics in this song are so insightful, so beautiful
 and expressive, I was deeply touched and I won't forget it.
 Secondly, Lisa's voice is like an angel singing and she brings this song
 to life so powerfully and yet so tenderly, and I was there in the story,
 as I have been on one or two occasions when we have lost our pets to
 old age or illness. It is rare to hear such empathy in songwriting” – M.D.

 “Your song Cat Lullaby is the most beautiful work of art for the love
