• Robert was very accomodating, as I requested him the day before and he accepted and was present at Tom Ham's Lighthouse the following day! He was very professional and played the music that I requested. If I had had more time I would like to have heard more of his selections, but it was a memorial service and he did the best he could to accomodate my requests with little notice! -- Connie V, San Diego, CA, 11/12/2010
• I hired Robert to play at my wedding ceremony. Overall, I feel he added a classy touch to my ceremony. He is very talented and did a fantastic job. -- Noelle S, San Diego, CA, 5/1/2010
• Robert performed at our wedding, in our backyard. He was prompt and prepared. He worked with us before the day of the wedding to get a sense of direction. He had excellent equipment and was ready to play in short order. Robert is experienced and payed close attention to the flow of the ceremony. -- David F, San Diego, CA, 10/10/2010
