5 out of 5 stars Ellis Island Music review.......2006-03-28

My wife and I just visited Ellis Island for the first time March 25, 2006 a moving and beautiful experience. Listen to this CD and get in the mood for the immigrant experience. This is a great variety of music all good productions and great listening experience. If you are new to this era Freedom's Front Door will introduce you to great groups and great songs. I rated 5 stars not just for the music but the idea behind the music.
