did make it 'just tough enough.' I learned a lot and hope we'll have a chance
to work together again."
--Amber Polo, author

me and my story. It looks amazing to see what I worked so hard on coming to

dream."

AJL Book/CD Review Reviews
"I saw the review that you wrote about the new CD and I
thought it was great. You really hit home on the point that American rock and
Jewish lyrics can be woven in to something really worthwhile, and it was nice
to finally see somebody other than ourselves put that into public writing. We
sincerely thank you for your kind words."
--Mort Friedland, manager of Levitikus
