Dear Meredith, I was introduced to your music in college in upstate NY. It was like nothing I had ever heard. It was "Gotham's Lullaby." After college sometime I auditioned for one of your projects in NYC. Your music was so deep in the sounds and so unforgettable. It stops one in their tracks and get their complete attention. Recently, I have remembered you and your music, I believe God brought you to my mind and I have been tuning in. I have finally apprehended my Dance center in Jerusalem a year ago and am truly having a revival in my dance and artistry with the voice. I am so happy that you have persevered all of these years and I admire you greatly. There is truly only one of YOU! I studied dance with many Improvisationalists I'm sure you know in NYC. This is the first time I am seeing you dance and I love your style and grace as you move through the space. I would so love to take a private lesson from you in NYC one day. You impacted me with your music so many years ago, mid 80's and your voice is gripping and deep. I am now using your music you have on You Tube to dance to in my studio in Jerusalem. I want to thank you for being true to who God has made you to be, because this world needs You! How many countless lives you have effected with your craft, I cannot even imagine! I hope to meet you one day, again. Thank you for being bold and courageous to follow the leading of God in Your life! Many blessings at this New Year from Israel! Liora
