Accolades:
Bob, You guys were terrific. Judy and I have received many accolades on your performance. The selection of songs was spot on.
What I found most effective was when you sang the beginning of your intro song. Then introduced yourselves, singing each part. It was amazing at how different each one sounded. As [you] sang, I tried to sing the lead part in my head and I was astounded how difficult that was and how different each part has to be.All I could say is WOW. (Chris with Loudoun Arts Council)
Thank you for your visit with us and [a] wonderful performance!! We enjoyed your group so much and it was great to put faces with the names. Wishing you a great fall season and God bless,(Judy at Bluemont UMC)
Fellows, Thank you for taking the time out of April 6 to drive to our church and to deliver such a nice program for our people. Our people just raved about you! Thank you for the time and the effort you put into all of the costuming, the personalized singing at the tables and of course the 50's/60's set and ending the way you did. So good all the way around. If we don't get to hear you before October, we will see you at the Waterford Fair (Lord Willing). God Bless you all, Martha and Steve

"It was truly a pleasure to meet all of you at the Honey Baked Ham “networking” event on Thursday evening! Sincere thanks for the private sidewalk concert you performed for the guy who was disappointed for missing the main event…what a blast! How wonderful to see you guys break out the nursery rhyme serenade for the little ones. I have to mention that when I shared that story with the owner – Roxanne – upon going back inside the store…she melted."

"I am so grateful to you, Dave, Kevin, Bob, and Ray for the wonderful singing by your quartet on Saturday. It added such a professional touch to a great celebration. Needless to say, I loved the selection of music. You guys must have worked very hard to get the exact sounds that the Diamonds had in their record, “Little Darlin”. It was great and you all hit all those high notes- WOW! My kids just loved the singing. And, the job you did on Old Rugged Cross was fantastic. You reached the overtones at the finish – just dazzling. Rachel and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you all."(Oaks of Righteousness luncheon for Chuck & Rachel Hazlet at the Purcellville Baptist Church. May 20, 2017)
