“Dear Tony, “It recently occurred to me that your band may never have been formally thanked for the wonderful performance you gave at our annual state foster care conference. Your music and message is upbeat, positive and warm. I believe that your personal knowledge of fostering and knowing the type of children we care for gave you an empathy with our audience that was an added bonus. As the President of the Vermont Foster and Adoptive Families Association I can whole-heartedly endorse The Sword and The Spirit band without any hesitation.”” - Linda Snider, President VFAFA

““It is with great pleasure that I write a reference for The Sword and The Spirit. The writing and performing of their original music shows true compassion and dedication of the difficult issues of children and families; the music shows hope for all. The Sword and The Spirit give a command performance of enjoyment and promise for all who hear them. They have a great future!”” - Jane Siddall
