To Ron Romero and the Members of "Checkered Past",

I just wanted to follow up with you to let you know how
thrilled we were with your participation in Diamond Days
2009.  Throughout the afternoon performance, people were
captivated by your musical selections, your attire and
overall presence on the stage.

From our perspective, Checkered Past aided us not only in
pre-event promotion, but also in retaining people at the
festival, allowing our vendors to generate revenue from the
additional attendees.

We hope you will do us the pleasure of performing at next
year's event.

Sincerely,
Lupe Salazar
Diamond Civic Club President
I have engaged Checkered Past 3 times during the past
automobile cruise nights and 1 motorcycle cruise night. They
have performed admirably. They have been prompt on arrival
and set up quickly. Their choice  of music has been great.

Many of the oldies that we remember from our youth, their
specialty brought back memories of my teenage dance nights.
The Checkered Past was enjoyed by young and old alike.  I
will have them back for more appearances in the future.

Mike Stuckey
General Manager
