Carolyn expresses wonderfully the importance of community in our mobile world. We share because we can and because we want to be closer to each other. To get feedback on our work and to see if our work means something to someone other than ourselves. I loved hearing her words from the source and look forward to more artists describing what they think they bring to the mix.
Jack Franke

Carolyn Meeks
I will never forget and always appreciate how much you cared for my daughter, Lori. A complete stranger to you at the time. As was I. You spent hours on the phone with me helping me to gain clarity for my life, the situation and the relationships involved. I remember once you were on the phone with me while cleaning up a flood of water that had come in your back door. It was not lost on me the treasure you time was and how unselfishly you gave it. Together we transversed the strange, to me, world of the “audio-guys” that adore you. The situation with Lori remains challenging, but I have learned a lot about those kind of relationships that I have used to help myself & others. And always I look for clarity in everything. Thanks for that. God Bless.
