“This CD, Flute Sweet & Tickletoon in Green Golly & Her Golden Flute is truly like nothing I’ve shared with you before. It’s intended for ages 4-10, and is 57 minutes of awesome.”

“The story is absolutely hilarious. We were driving the first time we listened to it and I was cracking up, rolling … I kept asking the girls, did you hear that? Did you hear that part? Keith Torgan is so wonderful as the story teller, his voice, his expressions, absolutely perfect! Let’s not leave out Jessica Krash, the pianist. She added so much with her playing. This CD is an awesome way to introduce children to classical music without them saying ”Mom, turn on Hannah Montana, this is boring.” I promise, I didn’t hear that once! One other thing I totally loved about this CD was that at the end, each of the songs that are used for the story line is played on its own. I’ll admit it. I’ve totally popped that in at night when I’m sitting here and listened to it on my own. They are gorgeous classics that you will know and love. Green Golly & Her Golden Flute is by far my favorite. I adored it!”

“I absolutely adore this CD. I LOVE that it combines beautiful classical music with a wonderfully entertaining story. It really is delightful. The music itself is very well done. The storytelling is completely engaging. All three of my kids really loved listening to Green Golly & Her Golden Flute. My sons listen to stories on CD at bedtime sometimes and they have requested this CD several times since it arrived. I definitely recommend Flute Sweet & Tickletoon!”

“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.”

“ … Enter the New York based husband and wife team Barbara Siesel and Keith Torgan (AKA Flute Sweet & Tickletoon) and their new CD Green Golly and Her Golden Flute. They are here to help create life-long classical music lovers even out of the squirmiest of kids (and maybe even husbands).The CD has a run time of 57 beautiful minutes and is geared toward kids ages 4-10. Barbara and Keith, through their zany storytelling (Korsakov? Of course-akov!) expose kids to a nice handful of the world's greatest composers: Mozart, Mendelssohn, Korsakov, Schubert, Gossec, Elgar, Bizet, Chopin, and Copland (yeah, I'm a name-dropper).Green Golly & Her Golden Flute" makes classical music less intimidating and more exhilarating for burgeoning young music connoisseurs.”

“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.”
