From Chuck Yarborough of the Cleveland Plain Dealer Newspaper
November 2, 2001

"Can't get enough Neil Diamond? You can hear songs sung till you're blue in the face by a West Virginian known for his dead-on impersonation of the man himself. African American Theron Denson said he began to realize his gift when "the 200th Caucasian lady leaned over the back of the church pew and said, 'Young man,you sound just like Neil Diamond.' Unbeknownst to me,it was at that moment 'The Black Diamond Show' was born." I've heard tribute bands before who sound "just like the real thing" and I'm always a little leary. But I listened to Denson on his Web site,www.blackdiamondvocals.com, and "I'm a Believer." He'll be at Kent's Glory Days-I hope when I get old, I won't sit around and talk about seeing a Neil Diamond tribute act at Glory Days, but I probably will-at 10p.m. Saturday."

From Gary Garczynski of the National Association Of Homebuilders:

Black Diamond,Thank you for a wonderfully delightful evening at Hilton Head. I've spoken with several attendees of your Neil Diamond tribute show and they've all had nothing but compliments, praise and accolades regarding your performance. You really do sound so much like him! Thank you for the great way you interacted and included the audience in your show. What a great way to start my year as NAHB President. Please accept our heartfelt thanks. What a show!

From Emily Yeager of the West Virginia House of Delegates:

Dear Black Diamond, Your performance today was incredible! I am so glad I booked you to sing on the floor of the House chambers. The Neil Diamond voice similarity is truly astounding. We were ready to encore you. Let us know when "The Black Diamond" tour begins!!

From Tim Pyles, Events Manager for Tamarack:

Dear Theron,I must agree that as the "Black Diamond" your Impression of Neil Diamond is quite outstanding. I have enjoyed following your development in what seems like every-other day articles in the news and thank you for sharing your talent with Tamarack and our patrons.They continue sending me positive comments about the concert.

From James Stump, General Manager of the Kanawha Country Club:

Theron,Thanks for the stellar performance friday night in the ballroom. Your vocal and entertaiment abilities are absolutely awesome. You do sound uncannily like Neil Diamond. We enjoyed your show.

From John Davis of the American Cancer Society Board of Directors:

I correctly assumed when booking the "Black Diamond" show on our main stage,that it would be a smash hit. Everyone was genuinely amazed and impressed by that Neil Diamond sound-a-like voice you have. I'm glad it occured to me to invite you to perform. What a coup de tat!!

From Debby Weinstein, Executive Director of the YWCA of Charleston (WV):

Neil Diamond would be proud I'm sure to know that someone as talented as you is promoting his sound. If one couldn't have seen that it was you on stage, they would have thought it was Neil himself!
