Guitar Lessons for All Ages!

"Ella played her guitar for her class on Wednesday! The assignment was to teach the class something, and she chose the guitar! She taught them the 6 strings, the difference between a chord and a single note, and played a few songs. It was great, and all of her friends thought it was "cool."

"I have booked Tom for two events and he has always performed excellently. One party was loud and boisterous with 250 people, the other was a cocktail party for 20. His music was the perfect sound for both events. The music choices suited the event and the volume of the music was enjoyable and perfect. His playing skills are excellent. I found him to be quite professional in his communications and setup. And an extra bonus is that he is so pleasant to work with – very accommodating and genial. I would not hesitate to book him again."
Mickey B., a VERY happy client, in a review on my Gig Salad profile.

"I wanted to write this to you while the feeling is still strong. Today seemed like a religious service to me. It brought calm and soothing. It restored positive energy to me. There was no loud noise. It was nice to have kids there. Everyone listened respectfully to each other. I learned a few things about music. I almost don't want to tell anyone else because with more people it won't seem holy. Thank you for getting this going."
Lee M., after the Zen Tea Jam session, which I host monthly

"Saw you and Lori Guy at French Market. If it matters, send this email to the management there, because we would return to the restaurant just to hear you guys. GREAT JOB!

Thanks for some wonderful music yesterday."
