May 9, 2026Skilled piano and songleading, and great to work with
Ricky did a great job! Good communication throughout the process. He provided excellent music during lunch, including some requests, and then helped expertly lead songs during a singalong. He even offered to bring copies of the lyrics, which was very helpful as I was coming from out of town. Very flexible and good to work with. Highly recommended.
