Two Great Programs

August 17, 2005

Dear Josh,

It is a pleasure to work with Real People’s Music. The roster of accomplished musicians and speakers are always professional and their willingness to be flexible is greatly appreciated. Your honesty keeps me coming back- -when you say a performer will meet my needs, I know they will.

Laura Fuentes y Calicanto have performed several times at Waubonsee Community College. Students and faculty always request their return. Waubonsee audiences have enjoyed the programs so much that after each concert, their CDs sell out.

Laura has a beautiful voice. In addition to her talent, the way she discusses the history of the music has made her a favorite of our Music Department. After her last performance, Laura was approached by a young guitar student. She spent more than one half hour working with the young man , teaching him one of her songs. That was gracious. We will be inviting Laura ad Calicanto back again.

Diversity: Finding Common Ground was a huge success at Waubonsee Community College. The program, presented as part of our Diversity Chat Series, had a larger attendance than any other program in the series. John Leonard Harris is an excellent speaker. His method of delivery—part comedian, part professor- was in perfect balance, holding an audience of 200+ students riveted for 1 ½ hours! He presented potentially difficult information/concepts in a simple manner, illustrated in turn by hilarious and dramatic stories. The hand-outs were excellent, following the presentation faithfully, reinforcing important points. As one of my students said about the hand-outs, “These are keepers.”
