- Morry & the Special 20s displayed great talent as they performed at our outdoor wedding during record-rainfall on 9-13-08. The Blues gods must have been smiling, as the thunderstorms continued to down pour, and the BAND PLAYED ON. And what a performance! PERFECT! We have received countless compliments on the band from our guests. What a great show. If our 180+ guests came to see us get married, they stayed because of the band’s performance. We are organizing a trip to see Morry & the Special 20s perform at the House of Blues in Chicago. Thanks goes out to the entire band and their families for helping create our incredible wedding. Their music makes a difference. -- Jackie S, Mchenry, IL, 9/13/2008
- The Special 20's was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! We got many compliments from our guests. They were professional, communicated well with us and responded quickly to our questions, and left us with a nice sense of reassurance that everything would work out (which was wonderful for us; especially in the last couple weeks.) Their sound was awesome- we were completely, if not overly satisfied. -- Suzanne K, Zion, IL, 6/27/2009
