Ridgewood Public Library 11/27/00 " On behalf of the Paramus Public Library patrons and staff I would like to thank you for your wonderful "American Treasures" concert that you performed at our library June 29, 2000. We weren’t sure how an evening performance would be attended and were so pleased with such a terrific turnout. The concert was great. It was extremely informative as well as entertaining. Your commentary and guitar playing held the audience enraptured. I have received so many great comments from patrons who attended. I believe this concert was the most well received of any that the library has sponsored." We look forward to having you return for future concerts at our library and I would be glad to recommend you to other libraries." -- Ilene

"I wish to thank you for the wonderful guitar
concert you presented at our library on Wednesday, July 18th,
2001. Your unique program, "American Treasures" was quite well received
by the patrons of the Oradell Public Library. It was especially encouraging
to see so many families with young children present. Your commentaries
on various periods, composers, and the guitar as an instrument were informative
and enjoyable to listen to. They perfectly complimented your musical style
and made for a most pleasant evening."
