  1. Hello, Ric.

    Last night while you were playing the piano at Von Maur, I inquired if you performed at private parties. Although you did not have a business card with you, you did give me your website. Please let me introduce myself and describe my request for your services. My name is Beth Donovan, and I am Ball Chair for the 2017 Heart of Mercy Ball. This Tuesday evening, June 27th the Misericordia Women’s Board is hosting a Kickoff Party for the Ball. If you are available, we would be delighted if you could play during cocktail hour (5:30 – 7 pm) in Benefactor’s Hall. Misericordia is located at 6300 N. Ridge Avenue, Chicago (just south of Evanston). I am not sure if you are familiar with Misericordia but it is a campus community of approximately 600 developmentally disabled adults. What I am looking for is a “little night music”: soft sounds, such as, show tunes, Irish melodies, light jazz etc. If you are available this Tuesday, I would be delighted to have you play for us. Please send me a proposal, and I will respond immediately.

    With kind regards,
    Beth Donovan

  2. Ric, Hi it’s Gary who has tried to give you some of my gigs in the past, and have another one or two if you are open. Please call me for dates and events ASAP. Phone 847-312-6676 or email at beltasong@gmail.com. Thanks!!
