A more impressive review, however, would come from my 14 year old daughter who gives it more air-time than Michael Franti OR the Grateful Dead when she is at my house.""I absolutely love it. Peter’s music touched my heart very deeply, moving me to tears, and it is still vibrating inside me. This music has a tremendous potential to bless the world."To Listen to Shimshai’s music, please visit:http://www.shimshai.comhttp://www.myspace.com/shimshaihttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Shimshai/49640095729Please share this message with your friends and networks!
