"It is wonderful for you to thank [us, but] you gave the performance of a lifetime and something that will always be remembered by all of us.  Thanks to you for having the guts to pull this together and then for leading the way on stage to knock the socks off all of us!"

"One of the best evenings ever on the North Fork with amazing memories that last.  Congrats to everyone for their hard work and dedication."

"Helen, What a pleasure to hear you play so thrillingly, strings shredding, Saturday night. The energy and charge of the music cast its spell on every one of us in the audience as you and your fiddle magically anchored a rich sound on stage while building it up to an astonishing pitch. Never having heard Deadly Nightshade play before this, I especially enjoyed watching the group's chemistry eddy and soar as everyone hit her stride. Such dignity and talent, not just playing on nostalgia but actually pulling the past forward and making something fresh and original out of it. Thank you! thank you for all the work that went into making this a memorable night. Congratulations"

"So glad you and Ann and Pamela had as much fun performing as we did enjoying it. That poor fiddle of yours will never be the same. It was smoking hot! You are all amazing."

"You all sounded so great, I'd venture to say better than in he old days. [We] had to laugh last night: we took a DVD out of the library called "Women NOW" about feminism in the 70s, and don't you know it ended with "High Flyin Woman". Yup, you definitely sound better now. I hope you can keep it going."

"I wanted to thank you personally for sharing your wonderful talents with all of us. The band had a really really great sound and a great energy."

"The performance and all the subsequent comments from our friends bring tears to my eyes.........it was an extremely moving evening- You all produced a fabulous event- one to make us all proud of for years to come! Thank you for this wonderful gift to our community."

"What a night Helen, & Deadly Nightshade girls Anne and Pam! Brought back my youth; got my juices flowing. Thank you is the understatement of the year. You were great."

"I don't care about the risk of redundancy:
…you throw a hell of a concert!....And as for the rest of you fantastic women - it takes a fork! Kudos to all."

"Thanks to you, [NFWFWF Board], who worked so hard to make this concert one of the best performances ever. Kudos to you, the board and to Deadly Nightshade. It's Monday afternoon and the tunes are still going round in my head, what fun!"

"I feel embarrassed that you gave us a gift.  The whole evening was a gift.  

The music was joyous and raucous and totally fun.   Helen and Pam especially are such great musicians and I love Anne's washboard technique.  Makes me want to pick one up and give it try."
