Review

K. KEUFFEL JR., ARIZONA DAILY STAR
I especially liked “Ram’s Horn,” which recalled various aspects of the Jewish experience and explored Pines’ stormy relationship with his late parents… And in a wonderfully catchy tune that would have graced the finest Yiddish musical, Pines finally comes to terms with his parents whom he can never escape.
