“I’d love to superimpose two songs sung by you and Karen Carpenter - it’s remarkable how close the resemblance is…It’s not that you copy her style so much as it’s the gift you have in the tone of your voice.” 

Rick Cluff - Host of CBC Radio’s The Early Edition

“She’s Vancouver ace pianist Michael Creber’s wife and possesses a voice eerily similar to the late and great Karen Carpenter. ”

John P. McLaughlin – The Province
