"This, just to thank you for a terrific show in our town.
Your entire take on the "Era" brought back so many memories of what I view a troubled and exultant---often heroic time, filled with optimism and compassion. You captured all that with your generous embrace, and both Sally and I were dazzled by
your great gifts, both musical and reflective. How the hell you're still at the peak of your powers has me completely snookered. I hope we'll see you back here again soon, and wish you so much gentle wind at your back.
Keep the faith!"

An amazing energetic show! It would be like John Lennon singing and telling the stories behind the Beatles songs. McGuire is a natural story teller and if the audience wasn't up dancing they were laughing in the isles”. Keystone Magazine - February 2008 - Keystone Magazine
