"Chris was beyond wonderful. I only wish there were a rating greater than 5 stars. Chris is incredibly talented. He performed on our piano on his break, and my family would hardly let him back up. He was very attentive to my Dad's wishes (which meant the world to me). Chris was very accommodating, a true entertainer and crowd pleaser. This is the second time I have hired Chris, and the way my family raved for days thereafter, it won't be the last. All I can say is he is a
talented, attentive, crowd pleaser that leaves you wanting more. Does it get better than that? 10 stars is my rating. Thank you Chris !!"

Edith Knuepper played her Roland accordion at our meeting this week and she was GREAT! She did a great job and she played with Beverly Garcia. As you know, you influence Edith a great deal, so she is very proud of her progress on the accordion and she is enjoying her life with music. Thanks Chris. She had a great time on your European trip as well.

"Chris - thank you so much for being there yesterday to play at Daddy's funeral - he loved the way you played Amazing Grace and always said he wanted you to play it at his funeral if possible, but Mom didn't want to bother you - so my husband did it for her - I have to tell you when she got the news you would be there shec broke down - it meant that much to her. They both loved going to see you play, & I know in time you will see her again at the festivals and dances with my nieces - they all are joining the Klub to take GM (grandma). thanks again for making it a beautiful sendoff for Daddy."
