What They Are Saying

Karen, Susan and I visited last night so that I could renew a friendship with David, but your really professional performance was a real bonus. In fact, had I known you were so talented we would have made the trip in any case. You will most certainly see us again and next time we'll bring some friends. I can check your web site to see where you will be next month.

Re: The Spirit of Cabaret | Dinner + Show: Thank you for a most entertaining evening. The meal was elegant and delicious and the show was wonderful. I loved your song selections and your delivery told the story most effectively. Thanks for a great evening.

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.

Karen:  THANK YOU for yet another delightful Evening With Karen.  David and I so much enjoy your events.  What  HOOT, having you explain how we met at the Patsy Cline show.  How lucky we were that night.  In the lobby as we were leaving, Jerome from Palm Springs was heading for the head.  I told him San Diegans call summer visitors from Arizona “Zonies.”  I said I will call him a “Palmie.”  He laughed and said YES – I LIKE IT.
 
I told the gal who was with Gaetano that my grandmother’s name was Gaetana.  She died one week before I was born.  My aunts pressured my folks to name me Gaetana.  My mother, whose parents were from Prague, said NO WAY.  Back then it was “Be American.”  So I got named Lois.  Gaetana would have been so much more INTERESTING.  Keep Kewl...

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.

What a delightful program, once again.  We sure do enjoy your once-a-month concerts.  Looks like MORE AND MORE other folks do too – last night every seat was taken.

. . . Although I have only enjoyed your music there a handful of times, they all were memorable. You were the first professional to allow me to perform with you and for that you will always hold a special place in my memory. Thank you for being you and for the years of entertainment you have provided so many. . . .

Good Day Karen, Thank you for the "Pennies From Heaven", it makes the world smile inside! You & Glen are amazing, the setting and Dave's special effects made us feel like we were at a nightclub reminiscent of the 40's & 50's! What a great show; these songs are timeless! Thank you, XX's & OO's
