"First let me thank you for 'Road To Home.' I marvel at your talent and
creativity. You are fantastic! My harp teacher thought so too after hearing
your CD."
Mary Kong, Honolulu, Hawaii
"I purchased a copy...while I was on Sanibel Island three
months ago. I like it so much I am wearing it out!"
Lynne D. Hirschman, Indianapolis, Indiana
Road to Home is a diverse collection of Michelle's original compositions, both ensemble and solo. Dedicated to the memory of her parents and in honor of her three irrepressible siblings, this recording musically chronicles our own internal journey "home." One of the solo harp selections entitled "Hand In Hand" is an intensely emotional composition and is in honor of the last time Michelle and her mother touched hands. A more popular, contemporary flavor permeates most of the remaining songs whether they sound straight from the Caribbean as in "No Problem" (dedicated to her father), or "Can't Stop the Wind" with its strong melodic line and replete with chapman stick and drums.
