On July 14, 2023, something truly special happened – we celebrated the 40th edition of the novel "Musical Notes & Root Beer Floats" in-person private house concert series.
Ever since the inception of Notes & Floats, this unique concert series has drawn an impressive crowd of 225 music enthusiasts, hailing from both local and distant corners of the U.S. (including Arizona!). And what's even more remarkable? A staggering 34 of these passionate fans have eagerly returned, not once, but multiple times, to revel in the magic of these unforgettable gatherings!
From the very beginning, these intimate and soulful concerts seem to have deeply impacted all who attend, offering a meaningful and uplifting connection that resonates genuinely with each guest. What an honor to host each of you who have attended.
Here's what others have said about this one-of-a-kind experience:
🎵 “I particularly liked the way she interspersed her life story with her music making. It is so inspirational. She gave us time to react to the music. Lover her humor too.” — Robin Liebersohn
🎵 “The music for me was extremely powerful. I never experienced anything like it. I could feel it, at times my eyes were full. I tried to hide it. It was an experience that I will never forget. Very emotional for me. The fact that she asked each one of us about ourselves said a lot to me and she seemed as though she really cared and wasn’t just making small talk. She was very genuine.” — Nicky Gough
🎵 "Frances was just who she is, no pretense, no hiding issues. She didn’t mind when we asked a question. I loved the give and take. The music was inspiring and/or comical, enough of both. A sense of humor is important to me. I left feeling comforted and inspired."
🎵 "I think it met all of us on a very personal note so that we all walked away with a different message and that is a gift from the Holy Spirit.” — Kathy Temple
🎵 “For me, spending time with Frances in her piano studio/living room was an intimate way to get to know her and the stories of her life behind the music she writes and sings. We were up close and personal as she shared and sang and played the piano. She even invited us to stand right behind her in order to see her fingers “tickles the ivories!”
🎵 "If you have something to celebrate and are looking for the perfect way to do it, or if you just need a little outing with friends; Notes & Floats is a perfect venue for it. You will come away inspired and encouraged, not to mention filled from the conversations and delicious root beer floats afterwards.” — Ann Judd
🎵 “It was a little foretaste of heaven. Every time I’m in your presence, I walk away uplifted and inspired. Notes and Floats did not disappoint!” — Tracy Mertes
Thank you to all who helped to make this vision a reality.
Enjoy this little celebratory Notes & Floats "album" we put together.
