There is a wonderful article about nearly everything I do by Ellen Collison in the April/May Edition of Dirty Linen Magazine (a national World and Folk Music publication) called "Koto Creativity." Did I mention that it is wonderful? It is wonderful! There is also a wonderful review of SIX of my recordings in the same issue, written by Linda J. Morris, who tries out the story CDs on her class of inner-city school kids. It is, well....wonderful.

This magazine is available at major bookstores and at www.dirtylinen.com. Happy Spring! - Elizabeth
