I'm amazed at how far inside you reach when you sing a lyric...and how committed to the moment you become. Your songs are so powerful and very stirring.

When life happens, Marge Eiseman responds. And when tested to the very limits, as with the recent death of her son, Baki, the only response was to go deep inside and pull out more music. "Enduring One" is a full-length CD featuring an enormous range of styles, from Gershwin-esque blues to folk to chant, with tinges of Gospel and pop thrown in for good measure. The title song features a piano solo by Marge, and the poem inside the liner notes (but not sung -- you just have to feel it).

Featuring a talented group of musicians, including pianists Fred Simon and Dan Dance, guitar players Lil' Rev, Jona Muchin (Marge's 16-year-old son) and Jesse Guten (age 18) and bass player Lev Rickards supported by drummers Jahmes Tony Finlayson and William Stace, as Marge says in the liner notes, "these musicans took my simple melodies and made them into fantastic music!"

Relax into "Holy Moments of Harmony" or check out Zach's favorite, "We're In Each Others' Lives" (Jesse's electric guitar solo makes this song into a bona fide 80's style rock anthem!) or pick up the positive vibe of 13-year-old confidence as sung by Matan Koplin-Green on "The Boast".
