Dear Duke,
I wanted to thank you once again for playing at our reception on the 15th. We all had such a fabulous time and lots of people complimented you guys. It was a perfect evening - very much the storybook wedding we’ll remember forever! Thanks again for your part in making it so lovely!
Most sincerely,
Sarah S.

I played "be young, be foolish, be happy" about 20 times throughout the day. Very catchy! The man-"The legend"- The music...

Duke- Thanks for entertaining at the Art Museum today. You were wonderful, and you made our 25th anniversary more special than you can possibly know! When you played "All the Things You Are"--you had us both in tears and remembering why we married each other. Thank you so much! Slainte! Garry and Mary Ann

16 Nov 2004 Hi Duke Ladd, I am looking forward to seeing you this weekend. I am the mother of the bride (Kelly Hill) and have come up with some songs you could play at the reception....if you can... Frank Sinatra songs, "Cherie, Cherie", K-K-Katy, Red Red Wine, Do you Know the Way to San Jose? Tony Bennett songs, Cabaret Music, Chorus Line. You probably know them all by heart. All of the girls have spent time in the islands, so they like the reggae music. I thought about "I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad". Kelly won't know it but her parents do. Looking forward to seeing both of you on Saturday and Sunday. Pray for sunshine. Katie Hill

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning, but nothing could be sweeter than to play when you're the leader in the evening!
