"It was joyous to watch Bill transform a room full of pretty tranquil teachers, at 7:30 on a Saturday morning no less, from a few smiles to uproarious laughter and to bittersweet tears, depending on with what story or song he was performing. He moved the room from inertia to clapping and cheering within forty-five minutes."

Barbara Wahlberg, New England Association of Teachers of English.

"In the hustle and bustle of each day, I think we pediatricians lose focus of what is most important about our jobs. It is our calling to raise better children in a better world and for a better world that gets us going each day. Your presentation reminded us of that. Thank you for sharing your talents of music, and your gifts of storytelling. Your time with us made a profound and lasting impression on each and everyone of us."

Elizabeth B. Lange, MD, FAAP President, RI chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics
