February 10, 2023Rebecca gave a stellar performance, and I would have her again. I would give Rebecca five stars, but she gets 4 because her accompanying pianist did not leave a great impression on us. Although she apologized later to one of my staff members, I think what she had said earlier was distasteful and really not a great way to start a partnership and I'm offering this as constructive criticism not that she was not a great person. It's the little things that matter sometimes. Nonetheless the pianist was a great commentator of the music. The residents and guests enjoyed it.
