Well, I can't say enough about how much fun we had at our party and it was due, in large part, to Rob being here. everyone commented on how fabulous the music was and that it made everything just that much more fun. While everyone did gamble, the party eventually turned into an impromptu dance party of 50 people in our living room- a wonderful surprise I have to say! My mom turned 65, my stepdad is celebrating his 75th birthday, and most of our guests are similarly aged. To see them dancing so much for hours on end was so wonderful. I had blisters the next day and sore feet...a true testament to the great music and fun we had. Of course, Rob's transformation into Elvis was wonderful and he really got into it all; gyrating, singing, totally personifying The King. Rob was very sweet and professional and I hope you will express our gratitude to him for his being here.

thanks so much,
Sarah
