getting
numerous compliments.
We

Larry
and Mindy,
Recently,
2 weeks ago, my husband and I were
on a tour in Israel that stopped for a night at a hotel that was
formerly a
kibbutz. I truly don’t remember the name or even where it was
located. You both performed that evening and we just happened to
catch
your show as we were in the lobby having gotten some coffee at the
bar.
Just wanted to tell you that we LOVED your show. It was truly one
of the
highlights of our trip. We did have a great time during our tour
of
Israel; it was the first time we were there and it is an amazing
country.
We are of the age group that would respond to your music and we had the
best
time that night. It was even better because it was so
unexpected.
We loved all your music and asking for requests from the audience was
terrific.
I
just wanted to take this opportunity to
tell you that you guys are wonderful and should have lots of
engagements in the
future. Thanks so much for adding to our enjoyment of the trip.
Warm
regards,
Maxine

Dear
Mindy and Larry,
Thank
you very much for the extraordinary
virtual concert. The outstanding production value perfectly
complemented the
personal introduction and the expertly curated songs. Your talent and
generosity exceeded my wildest expectation.
Your
artistry amazed the residents; they
appreciated the amusing anecdotes interwoven between songs. After the
performance, we received countless compliments commending your
performance. The
attached picture does not adequately express the profound joy and
enrichment
you brought to our senior population.
Again,
thank you for your exceptional
efforts. Our community is very fortunate to have your friendship. When
you both
are in New York and the pandemic has subsided, I sincerely hope you
will
consider visiting and performing at the residences. It truly would be
an honor
to meet you in-person. Until then, gay gezunt.
Respectfully
yours,
Dorothy

Dear
Mindy and Larry,
Your
performance truly left an impression on
the community. I am pleased to share a piece of poetry written by one
of our
residents who was inspired after attending your virtual concert. Zei
Gezunt!
Music
was played by Larry and Mindy,
Broadcast from Israel, where it was a little windy.
Scenery of Israel was shown in our screen;
Beautiful, colorful, historically displayed by every scene.
Songs that the duo sang were from our time.
We knew all the words, which made our blood pressures climb.
Many of the songs performed were once best sellers here many years ago.
But the Israeli songs left everyone’s faces with a great, big glow.
All the lovely songs were sung in great style.
Every attendee left their seat with a super smile.
Let’s invite the couple again for an encore sometime soon,
And we will all take this music high up to the moon!

Just
to let you know we had an amazing time
last night at your performance on Kibbutz Shluchot. Every song brought
back
such great memories from way-back-when. You could feel the great energy
and joy
spread throughout the audience – it seemed like everyone knew all the
words to
all the songs! Thank you so much! Will definitely recommend to all our
friends
and who knows? Maybe we will have a chance to enjoy another one of your
performances – all the themes seem very promising. Continued success in
the future!

Larry
and Mindy,
Didn't quite rub shoulders but wanted you to know I thought your show
was
outstanding, and I guess the full house spoke that to you loud and
clear.
You guys put a lot of effort, thought and love into that project and
your song
choices were cleverly arranged. Both of your musicianships shined
and I
was especially impressed that sitting towards the back I could hear and
understand every vowel and consonant emanating from Mindy's comfortable
and
lively interpretations of the songs.
I'm not on Facebook and sort of a web hermit, and probably a lot of
people
mentioned it, but I just wanted to say it personally.
Happy Hanukkah and keep doing what you do so well.

Last
night's performance in Rehovot was
amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed. My favorite pastime is listening to old
hits
and the songs you sang just got to my heart. Am looking forward to
seeing you
again soon.
Have
a great weekend. ☀⭐❤️😀🎶🎸🎼

Loved
tonight's performance at ESRA, Rehovot.
Not a huge crowd, but performance was warm, friendly, down-to-earth,
humorous,
and all in good taste. Our friends are already talking about making a
date to
go to Cafe Yaffo to see them again! Kol Hakavod to a marvelous
duo!

Dear
Larry and Mindy
On
behalf of Jackie, myself
and all our volunteers in ESRA Modiin, we would like to thank you both
so much
for the awesome performance you gave us last Thursday night. We
received so
many wonderful compliments and nary one complaint!
Without
a doubt, your
delightful renditions interspersed with your easy banter were the
highlight and
contributed directly to a fabulous evening, thoroughly enjoyed by all.
We
would also like to
extend our gratitude to you for your gracious initiative to donate a
portion of
your CD sales proceeds to ESRA Modiin. This too struck an appreciative
chord
and raised the tone of the shared experience even more.
We
look forward to further
joint endeavors in the future, and meanwhile wish you both continued
success
and reward.
Sincerely,
Cynthia

Saw
Larry and Mindy at the Moadon Gil HaZahav
this morning.
I
have been listening to them for years sing
all kinds of programs, to singles groups, James Taylor and Carole King,
Simon
and Garfunkel, British Invasion, Don McLean, Music Trivia contests, the
Carpenters, even Larry and Mindy originals. Lord knows I am sure that I
am
missing something since they do it all.
This
morning seeing the senior citizens react
with such pleasure to their show makes it my favorite L & M show to
date.
After the concert they were surrounded by octogenarian groupies who
were saying
things like "for 90 minutes I forgot all of my problems" and
"you two work better for my aches then all of the painkillers that I
take."
It
made me proud to call them my friends.

To
Larry and Mindy,
We
wanted to thank you once again for your
incomparable contribution to the success of our anniversary
celebration. The
music was well chosen and your personalization of the presentation was
a really
nice added touch! All our friends and family came away full of
praise for
you both---and smiling! And what could be better than that!
May
you go from strength to strength...

Dear
Larry and Mindy,
Thank
you so much for last night’s
performance!
As
I am sure you could tell for yourselves,
you created a wonderful rapport with your audience and I have been
getting
positive and enthusiastic feedback all day….!
Could
we possibly set up another date in
January or February? Do let me know if you can make it then or if
not –
some later date.
Thanks
again – we sincerely appreciate the
effort involved in your coming all the way to Jerusalem!
With
warmest regards,

Dear
Larry and Mindy,
Just
wanted to thank you again for last
night. A friend who was there told me that when I announced
for
everyone to line up the chairs in rows for a musical performance, there
was
some reticence and "oh, brother"-ing. But, that quickly faded
after you began to sing together. Everyone enjoyed the songs you
chose
and the stories in-between and your musical talent (we've been
getting
calls all day). I wanted to thank you especially for including
the
Carpenters songs -- I think it was a welcome addition to the other
great 60s
and 70s artists.
So,
as I said to you, your performance
made the party really special, as I was so sure it
would! Hope
we will meet up again sometime soon.
Sincerely,
Dinah

We
wanted to thank you both so much for being
part of our Global Managers Meeting last week.
Your
performance was outstanding and our
guests from all over the globe totally absolutely enjoyed your music
and
harmony...as we're sure that you could both see and feel during the
event!
It
took a while for us to hook up with you,

We're
now looking forward to additional
events in the future...
Wishing
you the very best,

Thanks

Guys!,
I
fell in love! You lifted my spirit and made
me float all weekend.
I
sing with the Nahariyanim and sat in the
2nd row and sang all evening along with you.
Must
tell you, you are very lucky to have
found each other - this is so great to sing together. Everyone around
me loved
your show, the music, the stories and your beautiful voices made it a
spectacular evening.
I
also heard your CD with your original music
- it is very nice and I am sure that in no time I will know the lyrics
and sing
it myself with the disc.
I
hope to see you again and I wish you great
luck in your life journeys.
Thank
you for a great evening.

Hi
Larry and Mindy,
I
saw that Eli already wrote you a note about
last night’s show, but I also wanted to convey my gratitude on the
amazing show
you guys gave.
I
have been getting comments from friends all
day how much they enjoyed your show- some friends are listening to
James Taylor
all day after your performance last night put them in the mood.
And
of course, everyone is getting in on the
Beatles- Queen controversy…
As
for me, this was the perfect way to
celebrate my birthday. I didn’t have to be in the limelight too much
and got to
listen to my favorite music sung by two great performers.
You
were both fantastic and so
professional - thank you so much for making it a great birthday.

Dear
Larry and Mindy,
All
weekend people have been saying how much
they enjoyed your performance! You have to understand that the
kibbutz
crowd is really tough. First of all, they criticize... and I
haven't
heard one negative word. Secondly, they never join in with the
performers
- and you had the crowd, only a few of whom were native English
speakers,
singing along with you. And third, they were begging you to
continue
singing! All factors unheard of in my long kibbutz experience and
exclusively due to your wonderful performance and your ability to
connect with
your audience.
So
thank you both once again for a marvelous
evening! Mindy's rendition of "Strumming Me Softly" was so
beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I really appreciated the fact
that you
created a program to fit the theme of the evening. Feel free to
use me as
a reference.
Best
of luck to you both and I hope to
"hear" from you again and again.

Dear

Your show was a wonderful surprise for Varda, and lots of our guests
have told

So thanks for the idea, and also the professionalism with which you
prepared

me stay
calm over the last few weeks!

Dear

Thank
you so much for giving us an extra special ‘Heatbeats’ performance last
night
at Bet Oren. Our guests loved it (see extracts below) and several have
asked
‘where did you find these singers?’
It’s
been a pleasure to work with you and we look forward to attending and
enjoying
many future performances around the country – we’ll keep a close eye on
your
website!

"We
had such a nice table, the atmosphere was great and we loved the
“singers and
songs”.
"The
location was beautiful, the atmosphere great, the food delicious,
service was
good, and the entertainment marvellous. In other words ………….it was a
perfect
wedding party."
"We
have been to hundreds of affairs in Israel, but we must say that this
was the
most beautifully and elegantly organized. The blessing service was
very
touching and original. The venue was delightful, the food was
superb,
and the musical entertainment hit the jackpot!! For a welcome
change--no
raucous loud music--what a relief, and a great repertoire which
everyone
enjoyed!"
