Story Album Reviews
"Songfish is a beautiful and inspiring story which captures the imagination of anyone listening. Timeless and generational, with themes of dreams being born, dreams shared with others, and dreams passed on, all weave their way throughout this endearing fable. The old world backdrop charmingly speaks to present day life lessons as well, through the experiences of the Dreamfisher and his banker and barber sons. This fable is a reminder that riches are not all about money, dreams can be more fully achieved with the help of others, and the beauty and peace that can sometimes come with letting go. I will use this fable often in my coaching practice. The insights are so accessible and the songs are both alluring and delightful."

“Songfish is an inviting story of one man’s dreams and how they lead him to create a life of harmony and a legacy of love. Richard Adoradio masterfully reveals a new vantage point wrapped in the warm patina of an old-world classic. His charming melodies and elegant narrative feel at once timeless and up-to-date, faraway yet familiar. This pleasingly wholesome fable encourages young people of all ages to not only follow their dreams, but allow those dreams to ebb and flow like the ocean tides, forever evolving and expanding into fresh forms and throughout new generations. It is a story of connection and hope that rings true within the realm of the heart.”
