What They Are Saying

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.

... 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 !!!

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...

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

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.

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.

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!
