We were extremely pleased with Larry's
performance.
You were right on target with your recommendation for this event.
Larry was really professional, and we all loved his music.
He was most sensitive to the audience (seniors in a long-term facility).
His musical offerings were varied and most suitable for the occasion.
He even played a few songs from World War II (Lili Marlene, etc.)
which were much appreciated by the seniors as these songs mean a great
deal to them.
Larry interacted well, moving around the room
and making eye contact and communicating with the guests.
