The Cary Senior Center cannot thank you enough for the marvelous entertainment that the Moonlighters provided for this years Valentines Day Dance. Everyone in attendance including the single folks had such a grand time dancing to the sounds of the 30's, 40's and 50's. It was an evening that I am sure that they will remember for a long time to come. Again thank you so much for your part in making this Valentines Dance such a success and please pass along our warmest regards to the Moonlighters.

I apologize for not getting this note to you sooner. Aldo and I are in the midst of packing for a trip to Canada in February. I would just like to thank you and let you know how much I enjoyed your bands performance at our wedding reception on January 24th. All of the music was just wonderful and I know that everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you so much for helping to make our day a beautiful memory.

We wanted to write you in appreciation for the superb music that you and the Moonlighters provided at our wedding reception. It was a "dream wedding" for us right down to the snow that we got that evening. I must credit you and tour band for setting the atmosphere at the reception. Speaking as one musician to another, I can both recognize and appreciate your subtle but powerful aptitude for sensing the mood of your audience, harnessing that mood and directing the energy of the evening into the most enjoyable experience possible. That kind of sensitivity in a musician is a delicate art and you are certainly a skilled artist! Your music selection was fantastic, your timing perfect, and yet the band was unassuming enough as to allow the focus of the event to remain on Dana and myself. Warmest regards.

Just a note to thank you for your wonderful performance at the 1st Benefit for SAFEchild held at MacGregor. We've had terrific responses to your band and would love to do it again with next year, (yes this may become an annual affair! Thanks again for contributing to our successful dance for SAFEchild.

It was an absolute pleasure to have you perform at our wedding reception. We had a ball, and so much of that was because of your wonderful music. It was so much fun to see two to ninety-year-olds dancing, even the shy ones said how much they liked the music. We appreciate all of the work that goes into the joy that you produce and know that we kept you for a good long time! Have you recovered yet? Kas and I are unusual in that we did not have many preconceived notions of how a wedding reception "should be", and you all picked up and "filled in the blanks" perfectly. All my best.

This is a belated note of thanks and appreciation. We have been traveling all summer. You and the band made Laura and Dusty's wedding the talk of our family and friends. Actually people were completely in awe and surprise at such a wonderful band at a wedding reception. They are used to 3 or 4 pieces. We all though that we were in the presence of Glen Miller, the Dorsey's etc. such memories of the big band sounds. We belong to 2 ballroom dance groups and wish we had music like yours to dance to. It was wonderful of you to bring so many pieces. A very memorable occasion. Many thanks.

As Lisa and I were finishing one thank you note from this summers wedding, it occurred to us that we had never written to you. So we wanted to thank you formally, albeit belated, for the wonderful job that you and your band did at our reception. We have numerous photographs of people dancing and many of our guests commented on the quality of the music. Thank you for your efforts on that special day.

Thank you so much for providing our wonderful entertainment at the Red Sword Ball. I hate that I missed the Pre-Gala but have it on good authority - the chairman's feedback - that the music was just right! We really appreciate you taking the extra time to secure the dancers from Arthur Murray. You made my job so easy! Thanks again and I hope we get to work together in the future.
