Many thanks for your excellent performance last evening in The Midnight Sun Lounge . . . It was certainly a polished performance and it was a pleasure to listen to your playing and vocalizing. The reaction of the audience was evidence that the evening was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

What a wonderful evening. 

You were radiant at the keys!

And your vocal renditions were so touching, exquisite vocally, and so deeply you: emotionally rich, gracefully kind, and movingly engaging.

I loved the way you so artfully handle the audience and how you beautifully gave back each request.

Karen at the Keys is a treasure for the Westgate.

Hi Karen, Once again you provided a wonderful evening of entertainment. We really enjoyed the entire show! I really liked your duet with a young "Karen" It was good to see Lisa and we really enjoyed her performance. Thank you for keeping the music alive in San Diego with such style and talent.

Well my friend that came with me texted to say she had "Night and Day" stuck in her head and was humming it all day after hearing you sing it. This is who I go see bands like Pearl Jam with....I even felt the need to ask her if she knew what Phantom of the Opera was....you made a lasting impression and opened eyes ( and ears!) to something completely off her radar!

... What an enjoyable evening - you are so good at sharing your stage with singers and making it seem like you have been playing together for a long time. Your expertise and years of singing always shines thru and highlights the great talent you display every time you see (sic) behind the piano. Great song selections - my favorite was September Song. It was a fun nite !!!

Re: The Spirit of Cabaret | Dinner + Show: Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your show this past Saturday. Really top notch. And what I especially liked was that there were songs we'd never heard before - I liked the new material. And Mr Piano was great - nice choice.

And you looked lovely, as always. Thanks for a really nice evening out and a great dinner as well. Looking forward to the next one.
