Thinking of You (Moonache and Heartlight) is a new American classic."

"Ms. Wallach is a songwriter with a fine command of imagery in her lyrics and a gift for creating vivid word portraits with a few well chosen words.
Her stage manner is warm and easygoing; she has a nice way of engaging her audience, turning the performance setting into an intimate, conversational
gathering."
- Worcester Evening Gazette
