Honoring a Father and Lifelong Musician

My wife and I wanted to do something special to recognize her late fathers 70 years of playing the double bass. We found Kimberly through this site, and were very glad we did. Kimberly arrived on time, played the music we requested, was very pleasant, accommodating, and professional. She exceeded our expectations. Her music was a tribute and a highlight to the occasion.
