Feedback
- Richard added his spontaneity, professionalism, creativity, and musicality to the highest degree. He made the concert snap, crackle and pop with gusto. -- Elizabeth M, Jackson Hts, NY, 5/26/2007
- Richard was very professional and accommodating. He was hired to play for my parents, that was their Christmas gift from my sister, husband and myself. Because we were in a condo complex all the neighbors came out to see what was going on and when they saw Richard playing the bagpipes they all had on big smiles. After a little while we went into my sisters' place and he continued playing the bagpipes and he also played the banjo and sang Christmas caroles. Before he left, he graciously took pictures with my parents.
My family and I both feel that having Richard play for us was a wonderful memorable time. I am definitely keeping Richard Stillman2
in mind for future occasions. -- Denese B, Basking Ridge, NJ, 12/24/2006
- Mr. Stillman was very responsive and accommodating for my needs and schedule. The music was incredible and the event went perfect. I will without a doubt use his services again. Thank you to gigmasters for putting him in touch with me. -- Mike K, East Brunswick, NJ, 9/16/2006
