Response from Ben Sherman Classical Guitar:
Thanks so much Walt! It was a pleasure to play for you and also to accompany your friend who sang so beautifully.
Ben played for our Harrisburg Client party, a gathering of 50 + insurance type people and attorneys. He provided excellent music--playing and singing--for the atmosphere that we wanted. His play list was extensive and he did multiple requests for our guests. Top notch performer. Jim
