Accolades

…Jeni can reach into our collective unconscious for a song and wrest it from rote, emotionless, academic influences and bring it back ALIVE - a very special gift. Mechanics, even craft pale before her sparkle of humor, nuance of heart and insight of wise contemplation.
                     Eric Wikner/Portland Folklore Society Newsletter

…This program was again a masterpiece of well-researched history combined with beautifully sung Irish songs …Any topic that Jeni attempts is always meticulously researched and beautifully combined with the music of the era as well as a well-rehearsed monologue of "story" that draws the audience in every time.
                     Jolyn Wynn, Harney County Library Director

…We were charmed by her presentation and at the year-end review of programs, it was chosen as the favorite program of the year.
                     Mickey Ketchum, AAUW - Medford Branch

…Everyone was totally involved with Ms. Foster's engaging music as well as the fascinating historical perspective she gave. (She) has a certain presence that invites an audience to listen as well as to participate…Jeni's programs are always exceptional.
                     Joan Peterson, Program Chairman, Applegate Library

…Jeni was a great success! Not only was her program of historical interest, it also touched the heart. Many a tear was seen. Her personality was warm. …She was absolutely wonderful.

…Jeni's music was so beautiful it made the stories more understandable and real. The music is what gets people to attend, and then comes the educational and critical thinking time.
