September 11, 2024Dave and France were amazing.
They had our ladies at the luncheon on their feet. I have been going to these luncheons for a while now and we have had music in the past and I have never seen the women get up and dance. Dave on the sax just blew us away and France's voice was amazing. I would highly recommend them and will probably book them again in the future. If I could, I would have given them 10 stars but only allowed me a choice of 5 stars.
