TESTIMONIALS:

 

Alison Sudol - A Fine Frenzy & The Hit TV Show DIG

Aug 21, 2007 - James!!! Hi! Things have been going so amazingly well. We're in Boston right now in the 3rd or 4th week (can't remember exactly :) of touring with Rufus Wainwright and my voice is holding up through 1-3 shows a day and sometimes very sketchy sleep (as you're familiar with :) I warm up religiously, sometimes twice a day, and that eeeeeeerroooooooyyyyyy thing you taught me has gotten me out of many a pinch. As for the House of Blues, I'll get you on the list or I'll buy you the tickets myself. After all you did for me, I'm certainly not letting you pay for your own tickets. :)

Love, Alison
