"We may be living in a new millenium, but when it comes to weddings, tradition holds fast. That makes someone like violinist Gordon Swift especially popular for weddings and receptions. His music is not classical but combines a unique style with Celtic airs, old-time and Appalachian fiddle tunes, Gypsy dances, Early American spirituals and several originals. It is the music that people have been playing at weddings for centuries, brought to life in the 21st century."
— The Litchfield County Times

"I'm a violist and recently had my 'Wondrous Love' CD stolen out of my car in the far-away tundra of Alaska, where I live. Although I am sure whoever 'borrowed' it (a bear? a moose? a hooligan?) will no doubt enjoy its contents, I, in the meantime, am missing it very much. I'd like to replace it if possible. "
