Feedback

  • Russ was a great musician and I and everyone else at the wedding ceremony were very impressed. He worked for hour with my organist to coordinate the music which was very professional of him. Russ played beautifully-- there were no mistakes and everyone was impressed. I definitely recommend him to everyone! -- Geneva H, Warren, MI, 7/18/2009
