"We want to thank you for the howling howlelujah fabulous time we had last night. I can't remember when I have had more fun and pleasure in a public place. The experience was amazing! I knew when I first heard 19 Miles to Baghdad on Democracy Now that I was onto something special and the two of you proved me right in Westport. The time is NOW..."

"When Lizzie started it was so amazing to hear her voice live! I really liked it on the recording, but hearing the tones, vibratos, and quality blew me away. Well when the dialogue started , I was hooked. It was everything I believe in, Anti-fear, Time is Now!, Midwestern Tumbleweed etc..."

"Remember a time in our country when people took a heartfelt stand for what they believed? We need people like Lizzie and Baba to remind of us that time, to bring that time to NOW, and to leave us with a sense of hope. Thank you guys, for an evening of beautiful music, and hope."

"...it's hard for me to describe in words how much my soul enjoyed your performance. it was a refreshing awakening. i guess i'd forgotten about my soul for awhile and it took that opportunity to call out to me..."remember me?" "
- Jess, Madison, WI
"Lizzie West's bio states that she is currently learning to fly, but I saw her soar. She passed the tonic to us and helped us re*member. I heard her soul call and she felt my soul shine. She and Baba tied a yellow ribbon around that invisible oppressive thumb. You know, that big invisible meaty thumb that presses down on the back of your neck and makes you forget. It was the first time I heard her perform, but I can re*member every rhythm, every Tumbleweed Cabaret song and the way my tears jumped out of my eyes to join in the sway of the chorus."
- Darcy, Kansas City, MO
"It has been my privilege for the last several years to see many extraordinary artists within Club Helsinki's special sanctuary of music and life! Lizzie's visit on Sunday night just took this old folkie's breath away!! "Reaching for Light" stays with me, two days after her performance, and I expect it will for a long, long time to come. If you are of her generation, I hope she speaks for you, she represents all the goodness you carry within yourselves."
- David Minton, Great Barrington, MA
"I wish I had the words to all the extra verses she did for "This Land Is Your Land." All I can say is that Woodie Guthrie arose from his grave last night and high-fived the universe and danced till dawn with the good spirits, proud that in this day and age somebody paid attention. - Lizzie is singing about our entire universe, and it is inspirational. I walked out of the Westport Coffee House Theater last night thinking that I've seen the beginning of a real movement...and maybe there is, after all, hope."
