Where There’s Beauty (2003)
and Beth Martens’ Music
December 2, 2003 (Letter by email)
Dear Beth, Thanks so much for sending me a copy of your CD Where There's Beauty. It is a beauty. I'm a musician, too. I studied composition for many years in various universities and now arrange music. I get music once in a while from readers that is New Age in the worst sense, and so I was delighted to find your very good songs and arrangements and mixes.

And Martens is neither doctrinaire nor preachy - simple honest and devotional..."
