• Bob was awsome! Even with an impending snow storm, he still arrived early and starting playing right away. He only took 2 very short breaks and played all the way to the end. Most of the songs he played he did not use music, and of course he sang too! We will definitely hire him again for future events! Happy Holidays. -- James E, Halifax, MA, 12/19/2009
• Bob was terrific! He played exactly what the audience enjoyed (and what we had discussed beforehand.) He was prompt, professional, easy to work with and super accomodating. I would recommend him highly to anyone. Also, value for the dollar was first rate! -- Larry B, Medford, MA, 4/5/2009
• In a word, fantastic! This was an unusual gig where Bob had to help me rehearse a song I was singing for a great friends's 50th birthday. He was super patient and encouraging and showed his exquisite keyboard chops as we worked through the song to the final take. A great guy, but more importantly a great musician who was instrumental (pun intended) in a great music making experience. I highly recommend him! -- Roger P, Marblehead, MA, 3/16/2012
