Quotes...
“The richness and beauty of their sound stopped me in my tracks. I’m not especially fond of street musicians...but this is how good Mr. Boyd and his group were when I returned to listen to them last week: I frankly don’t love “Amazing Grace,” considering it a bit plodding and overemployed, but it never soared as beautifully as when they sang it, floating out across the fountain terrace where tourists lingered in the late autumn sun and brides posed for wedding portraits.”
“It was over a stroll on a Sunday lazy morning in the Central Park that I was blessed with the opportunity to watch the gospel choir, The Boyd Family performing right at the Bethesda Terrace. It was impossible not to be draw by their melodious and harmonious voices. Without thinking I just pulled out my camera, prepared the tripod and started shooting.”
“I was also lucky enough to be there when The Boyds & Praise Company was preforming. Their voices are phenomenal, and the tone that resonates in the lower Terrace makes them sound like angels.”
