Always There Like an Old Friend - Tish Satre
When times are very good or very bad, it's your dearest friends you want by your side; Tingstad & Rumbel's music has been like that for me. I played their music at my wedding, during my daughter's birth, and it's been my constant companion during 10 years of multiple cancer treatments.
Tingstad & Rumbel's music carried me through difficult times, even through 20 invasive medical procedures. Their music comforts me as I await chemotherapy or surgery, I slip on my headphones and I am transported. The music lowers my heart rate, relaxes and restores me with healing energy. I can literally feel my mind and body softening and sinking into relaxation as I listen.

Lasts a lot longer than chocolate - Sue Ennis
Sue Ennis faced dreadful news. Her father was diagnosed with terminal Multiple Myeloma. She stood by her father’s side through the stages of the disease, providing him with comforts to lessen his pain. Apart from medication and treatment, her father found relief in the music of Eric and Nancy.
Sue said, "When Dad became ill, he would listen to their music to put him in a state of deep relaxation. He was such a Tingstad and Rumbel fan and had most of their music. Eric was kind enough to give him copies of their newest recordings. Eventually their music was the only thing he listened to: in the car, at his assisted living facility and then finally in a hospice. Eric and Nancy's music was a source of consolation and reassurance. The melodic strength of their instrumental music transcended reality and was a spiritual gift for my father. It reached into his heart as a pure listening experience while he coped with his illness."

Grief is more than Crying - Molly Greist
On a warm, sunny afternoon in 1989, Molly was returning with her small children, Peter and Anna, from California to their Seattle area home. On a steep grade near the Oregon border, a runaway truck hit their car. 10-month old Peter was thrown from the car and died instantly. Molly and her husband, Steve, realized they were going to have to learn to live with unthinkable loss.
Early on, Molly sought solace by taking long drives alone and listening to Eric and Nancy’s music. For those few hours she was transported. She could cry her heart out and process her feelings. Molly says, “The music spoke to a deep inner part of me. It comforted me. It helped me connect to the part of me that was alive and wanted a way through the pain.” She would later realize this music laid a foundation for her transformation.
