• Excellent experience--John went the extra mile and did a fantastic job. He was familiar with the Arboretum and played very well. I did pay him directly. Jona Steed -- Jona S, Dallas, TX, 4/11/2008
• John was fantastic. My family loved him and he was able to entertain all ages (we had ages from 3 to 91). We love entertainment that is interactive, and John brought the whole family to their feet. He accomodated our requests that were quite varied. He was also sensitive in dressing to meet our theme and provided me with material to prepare for in advance. He's one of the Best !! -- Jane B, Colleyville, TX, 9/13/2008
• John was absolutely perfect for our event. He accommodated my request to start out the evening with more "formal" music, but amp it up as the evening progressed. Highly Recommended!! -- Jordan D, Highland Park, TX, 2/14/2009
• Both the stundents and teachers loved John. We will definitely have him back again! -- Nikki R, Plano, TX, 12/19/2008
• John was very fun. I had many compliments from my friends on him. I would hire him again. -- Keith S, Dallas, TX, 11/1/2008
