"Dusty was an absolutely awesome addition to the wedding that we were helping to organize. He made the event extra special and began the proceedings in a very regal way.
Highly professional, understanding and kind. He gets my endorsement with full enthusiasm!!

Reunion
in Red River, NM
on 06/30/2012
"Everyone liked Dusty. He was what we all expected from a Piper.
My only issue was that I did not know he wanted payment prior to the event. This wasn't discussed in our previous talks and caused us a last minute panic as we were leaving out the door for our vacation.
In the end, everything worked out.
Thanks again Gig Masters and Dusty."

"Dusty was on site with plenty of time and was very personable. His music was very nice and added to the funeral procession. He communicated well with the church officials before the ceremony. This took a lot of stress off our shoulders come this emotional day. I would recommend Dusty to others."
