April 6, 2026Absolutely Amazing!!!!
First of all, Robert was so kind and accommodating when i first met him. I hired him to surprise my mother for her birthday (which was on March 17th) to play some tunes for her. He is an AMAZING bagpiper, and is very comedic as well! We had such an amazing time with him, he brightened our entire day with his charisma, beautiful tunes, and his story-telling.
