PGI 2009

Here is some praise sent in by Lisa Turner from Ithaca, NY
________________________________________________

Dear Mr. Mayfield,
Thank you for the beautiful fireworks you provided to PGI last week. The
program set to Leonard Cohen's "Alleluia" was the most exalted show I have
seen. The song itself is very powerful on the soul level, and the effects
you chose accompanied it perfectly.

I would like the chorus for my funeral! I wish my friends could have seen
it. We often perform the Eurythmy Alleluia together at important
moments. Eurythmy is the art and science of ritual gesture, making visible
the movements of music and speech. You are very near to Eurythmy in
fireworks. The comets on the Ls were perfectly evocative of the Eurythmy L.

I would like to purchase one of those double flower-like shells, with the
multicolored pistils, for our local backyard show on September 6. Is there
any way to do that? My husband, Bill Turner, won the large class C
competition with "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" this year. He has a
license and a magazine. He and his friends Tom Dimock and Mark Mara put on
a nice show here in Ithaca for about 500 of our closest friends and
relatives, sometimes ending with a 16-inch Niagara Falls. They are
competent to handle and fire a large shell. I have not contributed
anything to the show, or ever purchased fireworks, but I would love to
sponsor that one shell.

Thanks again for giving us a transcendent experience. The entire Tuesday
evening program was unusually entrancing, tasteful, and delicate; and the
"Alleluia" was the highest achievement.
Do let me know if we can work out an arrangement for our September show.
Lisa S. Turner
