Awesome
Hired for a personel, patio party. 30 people. Gary played for 3 hours. 2 breaks. in 90 degree, (shade)! Everyone loved the music and the choose of songs. Someone at the party booked him for their party we went to this past weekend. Again...outstanding performance, and everyone there also loved the choice of songs. Many stayed late, just for the music. I give him 5 stars. Sheryl/Fred
