He showed up early, set up, played background music as guest arrived and as the party started picking up he played to the crowd. He took feedback well, played with a smile on his face the whole night and I don't remember him taking one break the whole time. He played all the great songs sprinkling 80's with Christmas and a fantastic Billy Joel! Thanks for making the party a success and especially sticking around a bit longer to play especially for our important members who stayed for additional discussions. He switched between piano and keyboard and played both excellently. Thanks Richard!"

Nursing Home EventReviewed on November 15, 2018From South Holland, IL

The ladies at the luncheon were very pleased, and enjoyed the performance! I heard many of them telling the performer themselves how much they enjoyed it. Richard was very professional and he himself seemed to really enjoy the group he was performing for.
