Our guests keep calling to let us know how great, amazing, perfect you were. And you were. And are!" With love and deep thanks, -- Rick and Becky "We wanted to show our client how we appreciated their business. We succeeded, due to your talent and professionalism. Your performance at what could have been a common place corporate cocktail party turned it into a very special and memorable event! Usually, at these kinds of parties, people have a drink, gobble down hors d'ouvres and leave. Instead, this party went into overtime! Everyone enjoyed your music and enjoyed themselves. Thank you for making this a wonderful evening." -J. Aaronson Global Account Manager, Octel Communications "I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for performing so marvelously at my parent's 50th Anniversary party last October 5th. When I first started looking for a musician for the party I wanted someone to perform certain music in a special way. You far surpassed my expectations of that wish. You helped make my parents special night even more wonderful with your style, warmth, and professionalism. You just "did your thing". Your music encouraged people to dance and I was able to watch my parents dance together to such a lovely repertoire of songs." -N. Trestman "I didn't have the chance to tell you how very pleased I was with your work on Sunday at The Waldorf-Astoria. you are a very talented performer and I want to thank you again for all your effort." -M. Klein "Jonathan performed at our wedding. He was magnificent. He was very easy going and funny. He adjusted well to the ebb and flow of the party, and always played the right song at the right time. He was very nice and accommodating when it came to people at the party getting up to sing. He showed tremendous creativity and flexibility. He was a hit with the few children at the event. Guests were very impressed, and so were we." -V. Spadafora Your performance was absolutely wonderful. Thank you not only for your unerringly right selection of songs, but also for selecting a bass player & drummer to complement you so perfectly.
