Reviews
Hi William, Thank you for a wonderful performance last night. I must have had 50 people let me know that your show was the finest performance they had ever attended in Oakmont. Many people praised the way you interacted with the audience, both before and during the show. Teresa and I are very grateful to you for your professionalism, showmanship and your talent. You truly are a world class entertainer, and we are honored to have had you perform for our group."

"William is an exceptional performer. He is not only a gifted and very professional musician, but a delightful comedian, as well. His stage presence and personality are stellar - he reaches out and grabs the audience from the very get go and keeps them involved and entertained right through his final number. His repertoire is broad and covers the era of 60's folk music well. But, perhaps most delightful of all, the spirit of that time appears to have stayed with William. He seems to truly believe in the goodness of people, the brotherhood of mankind, and our place as stewards of the earth. I give him my highest recommendation. Thanks William!"
