Dear Kathie, " Your style and presence brought a special touch of refinement to Senator "Pate" Philip's reception which added immeasurably to the overall success of the evening. And, as coordinator for "Friends Of The NW Suburbs" fundraiser for Mr. Lee Daniels (Speaker of the House Of Representatives- Illinois), it was my mission to provide high class musical accompaniment that would combine enjoyment and easy listening, while being nonintrusive during conversations. Your styling and musical interpretations were perfect and set the tone for a gracious evening. Gratefully, your skills are at such a level that you more than met our criteria. Comments overheard were " Looking at her is as pleasant as hearing her play." I will underline that one.. You looked SMASHING." Sincere thanks for your enthusiasm and professionalism ~ We will be engaging your services at many upcoming events."
