Breathtaking! I am speechless. This piece should be viewed by ALL!!! Thank you for sharing from the soul of your ancestors to help us truly SEE the rumors for what they really are: LIES!

Dear Isabelle,

 You are a simultaneity! You are one of the great traditionalists and also a magnificent avant-gardist . You belt out "Stripsody", you 'sequence' with Luciano and also sing from the shetl, a sad penetrating tune that denounces the evil poisoning our political system. Simultaneous blessings on you.

That was very emotional and deep. Dr. Isabelle Ganz is my voice teacher and is an amazing singer! I loved it!
