voices are as different as our personalities, it seems there is something magical that happens when the three of us make music together.
We felt it from the first time we tried the trio concept on — and our friendship has grown deeper with each chord.
 “As the rabbi of Temple Israel in Duluth, Minnesota, I find great fulfillment in my work. As the mother of a toddler I am besotted, amazed and exhausted much of the time that I’m at home. Three Altos evenings are a welcome dose of friendship, laughter, music and meaning that fuse all of the great loves of my life. I cannot even begin to thank Peg for all of the ways that she makes this and so much more possible. I believe that the clearest reflection of the One is the rich and textured diversity that makes each human being and every speck of space dust unique. The energy at the center of it all pulses through the many liturgical traditions on this recording and is the force driving the celebration and affirmation of life found in so many of its lyrics and melodies.” |

 “Singing between these two amazing women is the most spiritual I have felt using my voice since the Luther College Nordic Choir. I fantasized about becoming the next Barbara Streisand as an adolescent, using my hairbrush as a microphone. And although I have been singing since high school swing choir, I haven’t used my voice this seriously since college — unless you count the couple of years as lead singer in the Rock band By Default. Making my living as an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota/Duluth and as a sexologist/psychologist — I am thrilled to also share my passion of song with my voice.” |

 “We like to argue about how the three of us came together, each claiming to be the responsible one. I remember asking Amy if she wanted to sing “Eli, Eli” at a community event. Years before that Paula had asked me to accompany her on guitar for a song she wanted to sing at the local women’s coffee house. Before I had a friendship with either of them, Paula and Amy were walking their dogs together and going to yoga class. Laughter, the joy of friendship and the power and delight of song keeps bringing us together.” |
