I had the priviledge of listening to this musician way back in high school, and since then, simply, everything changed. How this sound stopped me and took me elsewhere is not easily explained. Simply, what I heard then, left me frozen, and in awe, with both childlike feelings of joy, as I could sense angels roaming and intertwining with the notes, and a sense of despondency, fear and utter pain, as I felt that life would never be the same. The meetings with Him can be both, as you very well know. So, I offer you this music. Honestly, I don't know if through this CD this quality, as I describe it, comes to reality. I don't think the recording does her justice, perhaps the material... but you can appreciate her colatura highs in the background vocals and always number 2 will be my favorite...My friend passed away in 1987, so this is a remake in CD form. Just click on cdbaby.com and write Yolanda Vadiz...(if you're interested, of course). I hope you enjoy. As for the institutions...dito... you might want to check out Stephen Manley and his ministry...

I had just gotten one of your tapes and listened to it over and over while reading A Wrinkle In Time. 41 Lawnmowers became embedded in my psyche as I was reading about the children walking along the street where all the houses were the same. She was -- and is -- one of my favorite authors. Even though I never met her or you, I still feel a connection. In fact, even now when I listen to your albums I remember that book, and when occasionally I reread the book, I have to have the music on. I know they weren't really meant to go together (!) but they seemed appropriate together to my young mind. She was loved. I will never forget junior high at the difficult age of fifteen around `87.
