"Each year this program is seen as a highlight for our students and faculty.  Follow the Drinking Gourd are master storytellers and outstanding musicians. Our teachers use their program as an enhancement to our curriculum and ask that we bring it back every year. This is a must-see program," Edward Canzanese, principal, Rosa International Middle School, Cherry Hill

"Follow the Drinking Gourd performed 'Titans of Song' at the Princeton Public Library as a celebration of Paul Robeson's 110th birthday in April 2008. Bass Ivan Woods, soprano Shannon Hunt, and keyboardist Diane Goldsmith do much more than perform a concert honoring Paul Robeson and Marian Anderson. Supplementing the musical examples of Robeson's and Anderson's music with cultural context in the form of visual images, compelling narrative and other period music, the three musicians bring an extraordinary depth to the experience. I loved the whole program," Jan Johnson, Manager of Youth Services Princeton Public Library

"The performance of 'On The Freedom Trail' was a truly wonderful experience. The audience was very engaged throughout the show," Pat Marotta, Burlington County Cultural & Heritage Commission.

"The audience loved” the On the Freedom Trail program, commenting that it was “lively, fun and informative," Sandra Miller, The Free Public Library of Philadelphia.

"The program was professional, yet on a level the students could understand and enjoy. The exposure to different kinds of music and culture was outstanding," Betsy Holschuh, principal, Johnson Elementary School, Cherry Hill.

 "Their new 'Titans of Song' program drew more guests than seats, and just as many positive comments…a spectacular performance," Sandra Ragonese, Barclay Farmstead Museum.

Titans of Song “beautifully provided a balance of education and entertainment” when presented at Community College of Philadelphia, Matthew Shupp, assistant director of student life.

 "When are they going to perform again?" was a comment often heard after a Haddonfield performance for the Marian Anderson Music Guild, Ramona Chainey, guild vice president.

 "The audience recognized the 'Titans of Song' program as one of excellence - the selections and arrangements, vocalists and accompanist and narrative…Thank you for educating and inspiring us," Nancy Schwartz, secretary, Cherry Hill Historical Commission.
