"Thank you again so much for playing and singing jazz for our Parish Epiphany Volunteer Party. You and Colin were a hit! People really enjoyed your music, and the selections, and the variety, and how perfect the music was for a dinner party. The only thing was next year they'd like you to be in the middle area so you could be seen by more people. And it was unanimous with the staff, too. We'd love to have you back!" |
