“This amusing CD introduces children to classical music through the story of Rapunzel. With Keith Torgan narrating and playing the guitar, and Barbara Siesel playing the beautiful flute (along with pianist Jessica Krash), kids will delight in the works of classical composers like Mozart, Mendelssohn and Chopin while being caught up in a delightful tale!”

“…In just a few days of receiving the CD we had listened to Green Golly’s story three times! Keith Torgan is the narrator of the story and does an amazing job of appealing to young children. He has a grand storytelling voice and says the silliest things with such majesty that it’s hard not to be completely captivated. Siesel’s performance was inspiring. She’s bound to inspire children to want to create music. I want to learn to play the flute now!”

“… my four year old was captivated...which was amazing, because it was strictly listening (no picture on the TV.). She loved the story and I am certain your child will too! A bonus for you...you can feel good that you're helping grow your child's brain and appreciation for classical like stories and music. “

“We have listened to this CD in the car, in the house during the day and at night time. I look forward to the continued listening of Green Golly & Her Golden Flute. The end of the story was my favorite part, it was hilarious...you will have to check it out for yourself!”

“… Siesel's musical talent with the flute is amazing! If you buy the CD only to listen to her play Flight of the Bumblebee (Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov) it would be well worth the money. I never knew the flute could be played so beautifully …the flute recital including 10 beautifully played classical pieces from the greatest composers of the 19th and 20th centuries will be listened to again and again and again.
“There are even some selections that will work really well for ballet recital pieces! I would recommend buying this CD as a great way to introduce children to some beautifully played classical music.”

“For a few years, we regularly attended the Phoenix Symphony children's concerts. It wasn't in our budget this year, but this CD reminded me of the types of concerts put on for the children's concerts. I hope we are able to renew our season's tickets next year, as we missed the live music performances this year.
Everyone (even Lydia!)[my daughter who likes songs not stories]) enjoyed this CD and would happily listen to it again. Nate [my son]asked if he could have it on his mp3 player so he could listen to "all the beautiful music over and over." Colin [my other son]said that he found the story funny, and wondered if there were more stories about the traveling gypsy.”

“ … the perfect opportunity to spawn imagination and have your family enjoying the beauty of the piano, the flute and other classical instruments as the story progresses. It is the perfect collection to introduce children, or anyone, to the beauty of Classical music. My children listened intently and giggled to the story.”
Mommy’s Memorandum

“Flute Sweet & Tickletoon have found a way to combine classical music, storytelling and comedy and make it an enjoyable experience for children of all ages. Green Golly & Her Golden Flute is a clever spoof of the story of Rapunzel … performed beautifully on the flute by Barbara Siesel with piano accompaniment by Jessica Krash.”
“ … Keith Torgan does an amazing job narrating the story and bringing the characters to life. His comedic energy captures your attention right from the beginning and keeps you fully engrossed throughout.”
“ … We enjoyed the story immensely and what a fun ending! The music is simply beautiful to listen to. I will put it on just to listen and relax. What a fun way to introduce your children to the joy and enchantment of classical music. Although intended as a children's CD this is one to be enjoyed by all - young or old.”
