My request was unique since I wanted to honor my Mother's wishes for a specific song to be played at her funeral. Leslie was very easy to work with and suggested a good solution to an unusual request. He was ready when we arrived at the cemetery. The music and singing were perfect.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I inquire to know the need and intention of the customer, so that I can create and design a musical format for that customer's event. Every event is special! We discuss location and pricing, then I move forward to make it happen on the appointed day and time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 50 years of experience, playing and performing woodwind instruments, especially sax, flute and clarinet. I can read and write music in many different styles including classical music, jazz, bossa nova, latin jazz, ballads, blues, rock, and New Orleans blues.
