Abraham Lincoln LIves!
Thanks for your kind comment, Noah, and also for your young company’s creation of challenging & rewarding intellectual competition in arguably the most salient of the Social Sciences: her, er, #HIStory, for your Middle School attendees and their proud parents. Viva #LifelongLearning!

Thanks so much, John!
Ya’ll made me feel like family, so think of me as your “In-House” Lincoln #MovingForward because there’s no product, service or brand not enhanced through association with the “Name, Image & Likeness” of #HonestAbeLincoln.
Appreciatively,

June 23, 2017All we needed was delivered for our film production with this Performer. Could not have asked for a better Actor to play Abe Lincoln!

Aw, shucks...
Seriously, though, ya'll's impressive Three Horses Studio-facility in Covington, Georgia, and overall friendly Professionalism made me feel like a genuine Movie Star. And the fact three-time Academy Award Winner Daniel Day-Lewis had announced his retirement from Acting at NEARLY the same time as my portrayal, however silent and brief, could be construed as a positive portent of the likelihood of future opportunities to provide "Living History" of our Country's inarguably iconic 16th President. I sure hope so.
Thanks for affording me what just might be my "Big Break," Jeff!
Price range: $200 - $2000
Gig length: 30 - 90 minutes
Like Lincoln I have Political Ambition, aspiring to Public Service. And defining “Politics” most broadly as “the Art of the Possible,” and recognizing “Change is the One Certainty,” I established this #FreeGigSalad account way back in December of 2016 during Barack Hussein OBomba’s last days as a “lame duck” #POTUS.
The gigs I get and the relationships which develop assist others and myself to “Help People Feel Better about Themselves, and to Get Along Better with Others.”
So, here, as in Life generally: Give what you can, and take what you Need, Knowing We’re All #NEARLY to optimum #GoodHealth (#Welgeness!) when Aware: (Nutrition, Exercise, Attitude [of gratitude &] Rest Lengthens Youthfulness).
#Namaste Includes #BeBlessed, Likable Engaging Socializers (#NIBBLES!)
