On the exceptional Odd Collection, Peggy offers up 18 original songs -
and one spoken word performance - that reveal her to be a perspicacious
commentator on both personal and political issues and a gifted
composer, lyricist and singer. - Mike Regenstreif, Sing Out
I came away from the auditorium holding back tears from the emotional impact of Peggy’s performance, and with a comforting, warm glow inside, a feeling of serious privilege at being in her company once again. I treasure every moment. Love will linger on… -David Kidman
