Thank
you!
You
both were delightful! Totally got the vibe of my friends.
You sing beautifully and you got us all, even the sworn non-dancers, on

I

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
and Alan

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

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

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

Your

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.

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

Dear Mindy & Larry
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!
All the best

"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!"
