My name is John and I'm a pretty "new" Linda Eder fan. It's been
about a year. I guess I can't really say much that has not already
been said about Linda... she's beautiful, has a beautiful heart, and
well that voice... what can I say? When you're in the presence of
true greatness all you can do is be speechless. Since a friend
bought me the GOLD CD I was hooked... then came BROADWAY
MY WAY. There was no doubt in my mind after I had listened to
these two CDs that Linda was truly a "Voice" to be reckoned
with... again I was speechless. And yes, I liked Judy and Barbra
and Celine all before I had ever heard of Linda. And yes, Linda is
in the same "mix" as those talented ladies; but still all her own at
the same time. She's pure magic... similar yet totally original.

My daughter was in Marine boot camp at Parris Island this
summer. I played your song, "As The River Runs," every day
as it gave me inspiration to cope with what my little girl has
chosen to do with her life. The song was my strength every
day when I made my daily drive to the post office for those
long three months of boot camp. Letters were the only way to
communicate with her as no phone calls are allowed. Every
time I made the trip, my heart was heavy knowing what she
was going through. But when I put your album in my CD
player, my spirits lifted as your words reminded me that my
little girl was doing what she wanted to accomplish in her life.
Your voice said it all and also spoke to the feelings I had as a
mother experiencing it from another point of view. Please
keep my daughter and other Marine women in your prayers.
There are very few of them. Thank you for your lovely voice
and wonderful songs! I think of you every day as I listen to
that song.
I have been an Eder-fan since seeing your first show on
Star Search. I finally got the opportunity two years ago
to see you in San Diego. I didn't think I could love you
anymore than I already did; however, I was proven
wrong. This July, in San Diego again, I was thrilled to be
sitting in my seat at Humphry's watching you again. I
have never seen another singer come close to feeling the
music they sing the way that you do. I was thrilled to
hear my favorite song that you sing, "Man of La Mancha."
However, I was blown away and almost hopping out of
my seat when you started singing the song from THE
SOUND OF MUSIC. Loved it!!! I have never had the
chance to personally meet you, but I hope someday that
will change. Please remember us here in San Diego and
come back often. We missed you last year.
