By ChrisAbood on February 25, 2008, at 11:39AM PST My oh Maia! Nice song- pop sound with your signature "fighting the system" lyrics and terrifc pipes. Maia, my family and I met you and your bass player at Nighttown in Cleveland and I mentioned how fantastic your CD with Art was, and also how we enjoyed your connection with another superstar, Jonatha Brooke. Also love the fact that you're making music with Mark, who was a fixture in Cleveland for many years. you know how to pick 'em! Wishing you continued great music and a return visit to northeast Ohio.

By RockinRich on October 19, 2007, at 7:36PM PST Very, very good. Thanks for sharing, Don.
By monty3038 on October 10, 2007, at 8:39AM PST Maia is a wonderful talent, first saw her at the Lime Spider in Akron, an awesome performance where I got to meet her after the show... my date that night (our first real date) is now my wife and we are both devoted Maia fans. Maia, thank you for your heartfelt, honest songs with tons of character in them. Keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing you again in the Northeast ohio area, keep up the small venue concerts, they are where you shine.
By bix171 on October 9, 2007, at 3:22PM PST This is a really good song!
By dbronx on October 8, 2007, at 6:40PM PST Maia, having seen you acoustically at the Swallow at the Hollow twice in the last year, it's great to see you playing with a full band. "Polite Society" is a great tune. Hope you come back to the Atlanta area soon!
By dlearndeltondo on October 8, 2007, at 1:06PM PST Love the new tune (love all of the old ones too)! Can't wait for the next CD - see ya next time you're in Pittsburgh.
