It's a charming CD. It doesn't sound like anything else that's out there. It says important things in an unassuming way. It's also very personal. I really like it.

Got Alicia’s new CD & really do think it’s the best ever. I dearly love jazz & blues anyway & Alicia’s voice is perfect for “Floozy Tune” – the first old timey song. Another of my favorites is “Best of the Rest of You”. I’m tempted to quote lyrics, which are all excellent. Anyway, far as I know, Alicia wrote all the songs except the classic “I could write a book” in which she gives a little talk about the vicissitudes of the publishing business – a subject wherein she knows whereof she speaks. Youse guys are missing out if you don’t check this out. Alicia’s one of our own & she’s done us proud IMO.

Dear Alicia:
The CD certainly arrived. I waited until family left, as I like to listen to a new album with undivided attention (NOT as background music!). I sat with the liner notes, read your commentaries and the lyrics. I LOVE the album. You are the most incredibly creative woman!
Floozy Tune is great fun. I like traditional jazz and blues a lot, but tend to get lost in the current stuff. Your sensibility pleases my ears!
I'm recommending your web site to like-minded colleagues and friends.

Dear Alicia,
I just listened to your CD: "What Living's All About". Oh, every one of the
songs was really good. I especially liked the "doctor sun and nurse water"
which is, like the song you recited to me, a poem and a prayer at the same
time. I love the "nature boy" also. "it's not fair" is funny and sad...
"america the blues", so strong. The music, voice, the content of the songs
are all so good.
Through these 32 years, both of us have seen pleasure and pain, beauty and
sadness of life which, I think, made us closer. I had such a deep feeling
of solace being with you.
Good night for now.
