Testimonials

These are just some of the nice things people are saying about us:

"Your contribution was wonderful and everyone really enjoyed both the more serious music as well as the fun. …. You did your professional touch…. You actually brought our 92 year old uncle to his feet when the kids were lifted onto chairs on the dance floor. As a survivor of the Holocaust, it must fill him with great emotion to hear his music, see his loved ones, etc. …..thanks so much for adding the perfect musical element – both solemn and fun."

"Joe, the accordionist, added just the right touch of ceremony and fun. I hope you'll consider suggesting him again as he was terrific to work with, low key, helpful, agreeable. ….."

"…You and your "Capricious Accordion" presented an EXCEPTIONAL program for us! The instrument is truly "state-of-the-art" but it takes a very accomplished musician to produce the beautiful music that you played for us. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for playing our "favorite" tunes. Good music is good for the heart!!

"Hi Joe,

I want to thank you again for entertaining the San Francisco Accordion Club…We are still talking about your performance and how much we enjoyed hearing you.

As people were leaving, they were so impressed that they asked us when our next meeting would be. It was one of the best programs we've had and it's entertainers such as <you> that make it so good….
We know you have an extremely busy schedule and took time for us and wanted you to know we appreciate it very much."

My wife and I just spent an hour absolutely amazed listening to your CD recording. I haven't heard anyone that plays the Concerto do it as well.…It is absolutely fantastic what you have achieved.

… if you have time and can send me some information along about … how you achieve some of the sounds, like on Brazil, Building up Steam and Train Ride absolutely great. You are truly an accomplished musician…..

Thanks again for the fantastic CD...."
