"Angels come to mind when one thinks of harpists, but Linda Rice is no angel.
She's real flesh and blood, although her face becomes more radiant as she
performs on her celestial blue electric harp. That doesn't mean that every
song flows like milk and honey. Before you can close your eyes and drift
away, Linda begins to pluck, taunt and tease the strings until an entirely
new sound emerges. It's a sound of radical praise, unmitigated joy, and a
tune to which David could have danced, despite Michal's frown. Now you know
why King Saul wished for a harp and what would have happened if David had
shown up with a big blue harp like Linda's."

"We entered the auditorium where, in short order, all seats were filled.
There, dwarfed by her dazzling blue instrument, we spotted diminutive harpist
Linda Rice, her hands clad in white gloves, her face a study in restrained
mischief. Through 90 minutes of virtuoso performance, Linda worked musical
miracles upon the harp's 47 strings and array of foot pedals. She also
played a remarkable assortment of styles and tempos."

"It has been my privilege to hear Linda Rice on three other occasions. After
each concert I have come away blessed, not only by the amazing sound Linda
achieves with her instrument, but also by her rich testimony and witness for
Jesus Christ. This is music and message you, your family, and your friends
do NOT want to miss!"

"She plays with her hands, but what you really hear is her heart."
