December 9, 2021Great dinner followed by dancing music
Mark Russo and his Classy Cats ensemble did a marvelous job of providing background music during dinner followed by dancing music for our Senior Holiday Party. The amount of money in his tip jar amply showed the appreciation of our attendees

Mark, Steve, and Spencer were delightful to work with and provided the perfect jazz accompaniment to my husband's outdoor birthday party. Mark made it easy to arrange due to his organizational skills: we talked over types of music for the event and the band was on time and set up well before the party guests arrived. The music set a festive mood and was never too loud, so that guests could talk without difficulty. Highly recommended.
