Feedback

  • 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
