Emma Jo, Emma Jo....... what can I say that has not already been said, over and over to you.
The CD release was awesome and I've heard nothing but wonderful comments. It tells me that things are moving in the right direction and I really want that for you.
I love your Spirit and again I say, as your instructor I stand so proud, as an artist I stand honored to work with you.
We have good things coming, we just continue to move in the direction of "forward"
You are so special in my book.

We couldn't have been more proud of you Emma as we were last Monday night. Kevin and I just can't believe your the same little girl who stood in our living room with pigtails singing My Baby Loves Me. Your aunts, uncles, cousins and friends know how great you are. Uncle J.R. doesn't want you to forget about who gets to drive the tour bus.
Your FAMILY loves you.

Emma, your cd was unbelievable, I swiped the copy my boss bought from your dad the day he forgot his badge for work. My boss and I are looking forward to seeing you at the Main Street Coffee House in Independence. Keep up the excellent work you are fabulous and full of inspiring talent. I intend to buy a cd from your dad the next time he brings some extras in to work. A.S.P.

TOM

March 2, 2007

Emma, just got a copy of the CD from your dad when he forgot his access badge. turned me inside out, fired me up....the depth of the words, imagery, things I've experienced in my life that you addressed is leaving me totally stoked....Segar sang "I'm older now, but still runnin against the wind". I;m 62 and still runnin. Don't lose, sell, give up or allow anyone to steal the dream, the passion the expression that is coming out of you. God Bless.

Perhaps I am your first overseas and foreign customer. I've got the CD, listened and liked it. We've known each other through various Springsteen boards.
I like your music, easy listening and gentle, would be interested to hear you in some upbeat songs.

BRIEN

February 28, 2007

I went to the FOX 4 web site, I got to watch you sing today. That was very nice. I'm proud of you!

BRIEN

February 28, 2007

I heard you were on tv, that is so cool. I would have watched your performance had I've been told. Remember Emma, trust and respect is earned, NEVER given. Quiters never win, they do not loose either, they just crawl back under their rock screaming out hurtful names.

Rob Scheel

February 27, 2007

Those who were there already know what others will see as you totally commanded the stage on Monday at the release party. You looked and sounded like a star. It was truely an amazing performance. The new material like "Here it Comes" and "Tearing at the Seams" really rocked, and the solo pieces showed just how versatile of a performer you truely are. Wow! keep it up and dont ever let them steal your dreams!

Holly Shores

February 27, 2007

I just listened to your song on myfoxtv.com and I immediatley bought your cd from cdbaby.com. You are a great singer and will make it BIG one day!

February 27, 2007

WOW what a great performance last night. It was a great show you were truley amazing!! I think you blew a lot of people away. Continue with your dreams I am sure you are going to go far. You go girl and get them all!

Jeff & Brenda Feickert

February 27, 2007

P.S. to our last message. We can't wait for the next CD and we'll see you on 3/17!

Jeff & Brenda Feickert

February 27, 2007

Emma - We didn't get a chance to talk to you last night after the concert, but we were so proud of you. You are a very strong, independent and talented young lady and we're were proud and honored just to be in your presence. We could have listened to you all night. Josh & Aaron were so excited, Aaron was practically coming out of his seat and he was the one that kept clapping after everyone else stopped. The concert was fantastic! Even though we had already heard the CD and you gave us a personal concert at the house, you really took our breath away last night. You are an amazing artist and well grounded. Always remember where you came from as you look ahead to a very bright future. We wish you the very best. You go girl!

February 26, 2007

Emma, although I've know you since you were very little, I haven't really seen you in what seems like forever. I'm so glad I got to see you perform tonight. I love music and I listen to a lot of people. I was blown away tonight. You sang beautifully. You performed superbly. Your grace and talent shined through brilliantly. You commanded that stage girl. I'm so happy for you and I hope that all your dreams come true in this pursuit, you definitely have the stuff to be a star. I was amazed to hear those words come out of your little mouth, but to know that you wrote them was even more sweet. It's very apparent you have worked hard and it's wonderful that that hard work is paying off for you. Keep it up girl. You really rocked....loved your rendition of Bruce's Fire was awesome.

Ok, now I've gone on. Just want to congratulate you. It's amazing to see people grow into something strong. Stay that sweet girl I remember. I'm sure lot's of people will be a calling. But, your music seems to keep you grounded and shows some maturity.

I'm so happy I got to come and hear you. I wasn't expecting to witness a star. Congratulations Emma. Keep it up, you must be doing something right.

Wow Emma tomorrow is your big day. Mom and Kevin are so proud of you things are going really fast for all of us. I've read all the posts here on this website and I am so glad you have so many supporters. Your album is beautiful and I am sure that this is the first of many to come. Remember Emma those who cannot trust cannot be trusted. And those people know who they are. No one will ever hurt you as long as we have each other.
Love Mom and Kevin

Well Emma....... we are so close to your big event day, (Monday) and I am so excited. Your debut on TV Fox 4 and then your show.... :)This show will be the best of my productions yet and I am very proud of you. My heart tells me that this will be your launch day and I am all about that!

Girl, you sound awesome! I love the guitar - simple, but it sounds good. Your voice is clear and controlled. And your lyrics are thoughtful and real. I particularily like "We Don't Have Each Other."

I heard about you from Lesa; I'm a former student of hers. I play guitar too. My style's a bit like yours, mixed with Jewel's, and I dont know, like.. Michael Buble's lol. Unfortunately I haven't had much time for my music.. Which is a crying shame because it's such a joy for me! I'm so jealous that you've stuck to it and made an album. There's still plenty of time for me though, luckily.

I'm hoping to make it to your cd release, but if not, the best of luck to you! :)

Anissa

February 16, 2007

Emma - I L-O-V-E the cd, and wish I lived closer so I could support you at its release party. You're going places, no doubt in my mind :D

Best of luck, as if you need any ;)
hugs,

I know we are all very busy and we do not see much of each other anymore, but I still keep my eye on you! Be careful Emma, this world is full of Vampires ready to suck you dry! Do not trust ANYBODY they will stab you in the back the first chance they get. Watch the movie About the singer "Selena", you remind me of her! If you ever need someone to T.C.B. call me. "Mark-Way"

In just a couple of weeks everyone will know what I have known since you were two years old. That you have an amazing talent and a beautiful, unique voice. I have always been your biggest fan and I always knew that you were capable of doing great things even though you weren't quite sure. No one could be more proud of you than me. I love you more than anything and I am going to enjoy these next few days of you just being my little girl while everyone else Waits to Hear You.
P.S. Grandma Fern and Grandpa Bill would be so proud I wish they were here.

THE TV STATION (IN KC) NOW HAS A SAMPLE OF YOUR MUSIC. I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO LOVE IT. I AM JUST SO EXCITED. IT MAKES ME THINK BACK TO WHEN YOU WERE ABOUT 9 AND STARTED WRITING 'RHINESTONE DREAMER' I AM JUST AMAZED BY THE WAY YOU 'GET IT' AS FAR AS DEVELOPING A SONG. I HAVE A LOT MORE TO SAY BUT I'M GOING TO SAVE IT IN CASE I GET INTERVIEWED.

Lesa Monet

November 5, 2006

Wow, what can I say Emma..... the time spent with you on this project has been such a treat for me. I love working with such dedicated, talented and focused developing artists.
After listening to your CD tonight, I was so proud of you and your hard work. "Waiting To Be Heard" is such an awesome CD and piece of work. Your heart shines through your music and voice and you will capture the hearts of everyone who hears your first CD.
As your instructor, I stand so proud. I couldn't be any more so of you. As your friend and one of your fans, I stand honored to work with such a young, talented and dedicated artist as yourself.
I look forward to us now working on your new material and keeping the flow of excellent music for everyone to hear, from someone who has been working diligently and who has been "Waiting To Be Heard"

Emma,

What I witnessed last night at the festival performance with you, was more than words can say. You are a true performer and even though everyone who reads this will not know exactly what I'm talking about, you know and that is all that matters right now.
I am SO proud of you and students like you are the perfect example of one who is serious, focused, dedicated to their craft and most likely to succeed.
You did a wonderful job and I think you are so special. I am proud beyond belief in what you represent and Music with Monet is very fortunate to have you as a part of our little music world.
