“Of course you can quote me, you deserve all the praise I can give. You have a lovely voice, full of expression, and your guitar playing is inspired. Not only that you have a way with words so your songs are memorable and meaningful at the same time. As far as me you can say I hosted Her Infinite Variety in Madison Wisconsin on WORT 89.6 FM from 1977-1984 and I'm currently the host of The Wimmin's Show on KZUM 89.3 FM in Lincoln Nebraska from 1984 to the present time. I'm also a drummer and percussionist and was in a Rhythm and Blues band called Amethyst that toured the US from 1986-1992. I am a fan, and I hope more people discover what a talented woman you are Colette.” - Deb Andersen, KZUM FM, Lincoln NE host of The Wimmin's Show

The singer/songwriter seemed right at home through her two-set show, enough so that she performed three new songs: “Wayward West” an instrumental journey about her first trip to Nebraska, a cappella “Tail of a Star” and “Hey Sunshine.” Local percussionist Deb Andersen accompanied on conga drums..." - Eldonna Rayburn, Concert Series Host/Guest Radio Programmer, KZUM, Lincoln NE.
