If listening, as opposed to hearing, is an activity you enjoy, or even relish, pop this disc in and let it take you on a journey.” -Rick Levine, The Iceberg.com************************************************* **************“Intensely heartfelt lyrics and evocative music…Journalists meet many fascinating folks, but occasionally an interview resonates as a personal favourite. Such was the case recently, when I met Mark Weinstock.” –Joyce Singer-D’Aprile, The CJN********************************************************* ******“Weinstock's kindness and warmth resonated throughout the whole show…People don't come more honest than Mark...true to himself, and truest to his fans.” -Robbie Friedman, The Strand
