Hi
Believe it or not I am looking for someone to perform as a chicken dancer at an engagement party October 27. It looks like you are in Wisconsin during that time but not booked that evening. (I am a transplanted Wisconsinite).
It’s not a long gig… just some fun for probably 30 minutes and then pictures with attendees.
The story is they got engaged in a kitchen … over a chicken.
You look like a fun guy.
if you can’t do it do you know anyone in Chicago that does?
thanks!
Sarah
Hi Sarah,

Hi I am the Program Coordinator here at The Gathering Place in Milton, WI. We are a Senior Center where people come in to exercise, do crafts, attend classes and presentations and go on trips. I saw some information on you and wondered if we could come up with a date in April that you could preform here. I am interested in the Sentimental Journey program. I’m thinking we could set up a time around 2. I’m just starting to work on my April newsletter so dates open are: April 14, 15, 21, 23,30. Let me know if any of those work! $125 + travel (?)
Hi Sue,
I’d love to play at The Gathering Place! I’ve sent you more details via your e-mail.
Hello John, I work for Jefferson Independent Living in Middleton Wisconsin and working on my spring calendar. I would like to discuss some possible dates with you for entertainment and am also interested in possibly setting up a drum circle session. Generally I try to book for a 1 hour show and generally on Saturday Afternoons (1:30pm) for entertainment. If you have any openings February thru the end of April I would live very much to hear from you.
How much would you charge to do a 1/2 hour show in Milton at the Ladies Aid of St. John’s Lutheran Church … we would book for May 2016… your show sounds entertaining and it would be for a Mother-Daughter luncheon.
Hi Susan,
I’d be happy to play at your event and I’ve responded with more information via your email. Hope to see you in May! John
Hi John,
I work at a before and after school program for Sacred Hearts Day Care, Sun Prairie. Our kid have off from school October 28 and wondering if we could set something up for around 9:00 am. I know the kiddos would enjoy your presentation!
Hi John, Wondering if you are free to preform at Lilac Springs on December 11 from 11am-2pm. We are looking for someone to preform holiday songs. Please email me if you’re free and able. Thank you
Hi Makinzie,
Sorry for the belated response, My website was down for awhile with problems. Yes, I’m available on Sunday, December 11 from 11-2 (a three-hour performance, right?) I don’t know if I can fill three hours with only Christmas music, but I can add other nice songs as well (or just repeat some if audience will continue to rotate).
I’ve actually played at Lilac Springs earlier this year, and had to cancel a November show because of an injury. I was giving your predecessor a $25 discount for a double booking, which I’ll be happy to apply to this show. For three hours, including transportation to Lake Mills, the fee would be $220. Let me that this is okay, and I’ll send you an “official” confirmation.
Thanks, and hope to see you net month!
