In the Press:
"Everyone loves tales of accomplishment, of overcoming the greatest or even the most mundane of adversities, of romance and happy endings, and of course, tales that involve a loving, supportive family. So if a story already has all these elements, what could possibly be done to make it better? Why, set it to music, of course."
