The thing that stands out the most to me is the originality of your arragements and the ability you have to be able to pace the song so sparingly that it's on the edge of disarray and stability at the same time. The lyrics are vivid and gracious! You also take from your influences wisely...you aren't sounding like anyone but yourself. Don't ever lose this purity and innocence..i'd love to see you do more shows around town.

Hey Courtney,

What's up?  I don't know if you remember me, I used to go to LCCVI, (Dave Fraser, ringing any bells?) Quality, songs girl!  Quality...  Keep up the awesome work.  

Peace,
Dave

some of your tunes aren't working.. most of them in fact.. too bad. i think your adaptation of the curtian is brilliant.. i love the little vocal arrangement "to the orchestra"

Do you play the guitar too? The guitar work on here is real nice. It's more than just strumming chords, but doesn't get in the way. Of course your voice is nice and soulful as well. You are a gifted songwriter (and cute too!) Normally, I'm a huge fan of the solo guitar/voice combo, but for you I think something else is needed to fill out the sound and react to what the guitar is doing. It may be even something as simple as having a drummer play a light rhythm with brushes. Anyway, overall I really enjoyed your music.

Hey, I'm real impressed by your talent, I hope to hear some amazing things out of you soon. Keep up the great work.
