You guys showed me a more beautiful and meaningful way of life rich in good values. You all set a good example to most of us living in the Eastern world who blindly follow celebrity life styles. Keep up your quality work! God bless you all!

Glad to hear that Julianne is reading G.K. Chesteton. I first read Orthodoxy three decades ago, when I was around her age. It is important for young people to be able to make an intellectual defense of their faith, given the increasingly explicit anti-Christian tone of so much in our national culture, especially in the schools. Thank you to all the Petersens for the light they have brought into these dark times. So glad I found your music!

Hello, Petersens. I would just like to send you a thank you message. I live in Worcestershire, U.K. I suffer from bipolar depression, which is tough to cope with as I live alone. 2020 has been a very tough year. I used to support you financially but I had to stop. Brexit has been very tough from me. I often fall out with people over politics. Yesterday, Christmas Eve, saw a card drop through the door. It was a from all of you. A hand written envelope, too! I can’t tell you what it meant! I love your music. Music and humour are my lifelines. I play the guitar every day. I am not particularly religious but you really have something special and you make me think! Perhaps you often wonder what happens to the cards you send. Are they discarded? (No pun intended!!) Are they appreciated? Yours landed slap bang on my heart and for that I am grateful. Just off to play the guitar in my local pub, sing carols and then have a socially distanced lunch. Here’s a song for you, in Welsh. Dymunwn Nadolig Llawen Dymunwn Nadolig Llawen Dymunwn Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda Llawenydd i chi a phawb yn y tŷ Dymunwn Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda You’ll know it as “We wish you a Merry Christmas!” Big hug and THANK YOU so much.

First, let me say that I LOVE your group...which is a surprise to me! I have enjoyed a bit of your selections. So glad I discovered you all! I must say, however, that I prefer "Bluegrass" to "Country"...since I grew up with "country" resounding on the radio (Radio WWVA 50KW - The "friendly voice from out of the hills in Wheeling, W.Va! - was the mantra way back when). But, I got tired of "country" after a very short while. Living in a valley between two high hills, one couldn't receive many AM stations "way back when"...so we got a LOT of "country". I just turned off the radio...grins. I do prefer Choral music, and occasionally your group...depending upon whatever the selection happens to be (e.g. "John Denver's "Take me Home, Country Roads"). I'm one not much for "plain old Hymns" even though I grew up singing them...I so prefer Bach Cantatas...and Handel, Frescobaldi, Gabrielli, Albinoni. and a few other composers of the baroque period...sorry...just my own heritage and experience speaking... And YES, I have played several instruments over the years...Piano, Pipe Organ, Git-box (grins), clarinet, trumpet...but my own instrument of choice is the human choral voice...I have sung in Concert Choirs - now years past...sighs...and miss it so much!
