Here is a testimonial from a very happy bride and groom:

July 25, 2009
Wedding - Statler Hotel, Cornell University

Dear Backtalk Band,

Lucy and I would like to thank you for making our wedding reception
one helluva party in the Statler at Cornell. As we co-ordinated everything
from Japan, you made organizing the event so much easier and a lot of fun.

From Bob's solo performance through the cocktails and the entire bands
performance at the reception, your professionalism was reflected thorough
your fantastic beats and the crowded dance-floor. I would strongly recommend
other couples to sign this band early. They are the best in the area and will
make for a memorable event for all to remember.

Kindest regards, Tex and Lucy
(You guys were great...many thanks!!)
