What Critics Say…

“It is apparent he not only loves, but better, understands the music that he’s chosen to present here. His piano work is flawless and would surely stand on its own as an evening’s entertainment. Enthusiasm is a highly overused word, but in this case it’s appropriate. Each song is presented simply, directly, honestly, and with great elan.”

What Audiences Say…

“What a wonderful time everyone had at your Irving Berlin program! You have a wonderful presentation style: your articulation, use of the sound system, the piano accompaniment, and your easy familiarity with the material all made for a delightful afternoon. But what put your program in the Best-show-we’ve-ever-seen-here category was your obvious love for what you do, and that indefiniable attribute which I can only call your artistry.”

“Fred, it was so inspiring. They loved you.”
