A terrific mother of the bride, Judy helped organize many details for Kristi and Thad. This event took place at Ski Tip Lodge in Keystone, July 25, 2009. Judy was so pleased with our musicians, she phoned them to get their address in order to send them a tip……..Nice Lady! She also sent us the following compliment.“Beautiful music!
