Thank
you!
You
both were
delightful! Totally got the vibe of my friends. You sing beautifully
and you

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

tonight's
performance at ESRA, Rehovot. Not a huge crowd, but performance was
warm,

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

We

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

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!"
