Quotes from Angela:
"The world is spinning and changing so fast that people have a hard time 
keeping up at times," Angela points out. "I perform songs that tell 
stories about life be they happy or sad, because we're all going 
through this together."  Whether a song is sentimental or serious, it should 
be comforting or inspiring, something to be enjoyed." "It should be 
something that will take each member of the audience away from their 
troubles for a few minutes and give them something to enjoy or 
relate to." "Music should create a special feeling for people." "It 
should carry them away into a special mode where all of their aural 
senses are stimulated.
