Non disperar ~ G. F. Handel

Dear Bill,

I just want to take a moment to Thank You for your time last Thursday! It was such a treat to be able to record in your studio on short notice. As a classical singer, I was hard pressed to find any other studio that had a Conservatory Grand Piano necessary to accompany the music I needed to record. You are extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with and I appreciate your willingness to work with me and my accompanist. It was a wonderful experience and I couldn't be more pleased with the recording quality! If and when I need another demo you will definitely be my first choice. Thanks again!
