PRESS
Kamala Sankaram provided lilting, whimsical music with a queasy edge to a lyric by Tien (based on an interview with Dr. R. Sankaram) in “A Friend and a Zorro,” about a kidney doctor who dreamed of being an actor as a kid (“I believed in make-believe./…/It did not believe in me.”), and then visits Hollywood as an adult, only to find the people there “all artificial.” -National Sawdust Log
