    Rachel Croft reminds me of a young Bonnie Raitt playing to small crowds in a bar called 'Tulagi's' in Boulder CO 1973. I was a freshman at CU then. I knew she would go far. I get the same feeling each time I hear Rachel sing.. You've won me over as a true fan, Rachel, and I thank you most enthusiastically..

    Moved from abroad to the Galway bay coast at midlife. Everyday I remember I live in a post card. If I were planning my funeral I would move heaven and earth to have you Rachel sing this at it.
