Compact disks and DVD arrived this morning. Wonderful! Nobody has done anything all day except listen to them. Dog, sheep, geese, ducks... everybody has to listen to me whistle 'Gori Gori' pretty much non-stop. This evening my wife and I watched the DVD. We couldn't help but be impressed with the high level of training and professionalism in your group. It really was a great show, and I'm glad to see the audience enjoyed it as much as we did. As a matter of fact, I'm listening to the Natasha & Misha CD right now, and this email is taking longer than necessary because I stop to admire the singing and read about the tunes. Thanks again for the great music. Regards, Christopher
