You truly are one of our fave bands to listen to. You sound great no matter
what the song, and keep the energy high all night. We're always excited when we
get to work together, since we know we're going to have fun listening to your
music AND we're guaranteed to get great dancing pictures.

... This is not a DJ crowd, although in the band vs. DJ debate, I have always
gone with a DJ. DJ's are affordable. They can play pretty much anything you
ask for. Fewer mouths to feed.
Knowing I couldn't call a DJ without small uprising, I called a band. I got lucky, because it turns out I called the best band, Bill's Toupee: http://www.billstoupee.com/ I picked them because they have an excellent reputation and I used to work with Mike, the band leader's, mom. Turns out that just like his mom, Mike and the entire band are class acts. They were extremely professional. They were on time, They did every thing they said they would do, when they said they would do it. But, even more importantly, they got everyone out on the floor (and with a bunch of lawyers, this is no small task:)), and they sounded great the entire time. From wonderful cocktail hour music to keeping the dance floor going all night, they were spectacular. I was a bit tense about this event, for reasons I will get into in another post, and Mike and the band were like the calm in my storm. It was like having your best friends as your band. I think my board president summed it up best today, when signing the check for the remainder of their fee she remarked "they were worth every penny." I couldn't agree more. Hey Mike - you may have made a convert! -- Janna Elizabeth Whearty, Executive Director Dutchess County Bar Association (5/8/09) |

Dear Mike, Desaree, Dave, Barry, and Jack:
Thank you so much for your amazing performance at our 2008 Green Leaf Gala at which Ruth B. Kassel and James H. Ottaway, Jr. were honored. You guys were outstanding. All of our guests were pleased about what a great time they had dancing to the band. We cannot thank you enough for helping make our Green Leaf Gala such a huge success! Also, special thanks to Mike for doing our cocktail hour.
We are deeply grateful for your support! |

Superb job once again!!! A true hit amongst the crowd, and I have heard
nothing but fabulous comments.
Thank you again for all of you efforts to get there, set up, and keepin' 'em on the dance floor. They really enjoyed the evening... and how about that "raw bar," huh? I'll let you know of our future dates, as I am sure that our paths will cross again!!!
All my best, |

Dear Mike,
I just wanted to send a note to say thank you for the outstanding job you did at American National Insurance Company's recent New York City conference. The Bill's Toupee Band was great and all of our people enjoyed it. Thank you again for your part in helping make the Career Sales & Service Division's 2007 Summit Club Conference a success.
Sincerely, |

Mike,
Your band was the hit of the night-great reviews! Hope we can get you again. -- Joe, Commodore, Hidden Harbor Yacht Club July 7, 2007 |

Mike-
Have a nice holiday season.
|

Mike, You may surely quote me... and yes indeed... "premier" is the word I would use to describe you and your group. You were professional, looked great and sounded awesome. Without doubt... "premier" is the only way to say it! It is I that should be thanking you and your group for the fabulous music. You kept everyone dancing and having a great time. Many folks took the time to share their thoughts with me that evening and throughout the balance of the weekend. Know that you got positive feedback. Many thanks for all of your efforts. I will be sure to share your name with anyone who I know may have an affair coming up. And I trust that our paths will cross again at future events.
My very best, |
|
Please send me a bunch of your cards, as mentioned, you guys are the only band I like to recommend. BTW you guys sounded great the other nite. Always a pleasure... -- Mark Greenstone, Majestic Studios, Hopewell Jct., NY |

I find Bill's Toupee to be very professional in the way they work with
the caterer and also the bride and groom. They sound great, look great,
and will deliver everything they promise. I will recommend Bill's Toupee
without hesitation.

I just wanted to personally thank you and the other members of
"Bill's Toupee" for providing such a variety of great musical
"coverage" at the Institute's annual Holiday Party last month at
Anthony's Pier 9 for our 650 guests. The musical selections were
exceptionally well formatted, providing a perfect progression from
enjoyable light jazz during dinner to exciting dance music. Our
Holiday Party Committee agreed that more people were up on the dance
floor cutting the "rug" than at any previous Holiday Party! . . .a tribute
to the bands song selection and ability to electrify such a large and
diverse group. We thank you for providing such excellent entertainment
at such a reasonable price!
-- Ken Turow, Associate Dean, Culinary Institute of America |

Thanks so much for your talents last night. I'm certain that EVERYBODY
had a great time. Your Billy Joel was outstanding -- so many people
commented to me how much fun they thought that was, and as for "Sonny &
Cher" ------ again wonderful.
Just wanted you to know how much the entire committee as well as our guests appreciated the music. The Committee knew you would add much to our event, and now the rest of the Class knows as well. We do hope that it will lead to additional bookings for you. Again, thanks so much. -- NanC and the Class of 1971, Spruce Lodge, Montgomery, NY |

I had the pleasure of being at Frederick's tonight (for New Year's Eve
2001-2002). I just arrived home and wanted to tell you that your band
MADE the evening (just 2nd after the friends I was with).
You are very talented performers, and your charisma truly made for a
special evening. I especially found Linda's voice (not to mention her
personality) wonderful in pulling everyone onto the dance floor and into
the "mood."
I wish you luck, and I look forward to seeing you perform again soon. -- Alan Zucker, a fan from New Year's Eve 2001- 2002 at Frederick's of Hyde Park |

Thanks to Bill's Toupee for striking the right note at United Way of

Bill's Toupee was overwhelmingly enjoyed by everyone at our holiday
party. You played a wide range of music to suit all the varying tastes of

have you back again for this year's party.

I just wanted to send you quick note and a word of thanks and praise for
all your hard work on Saturday nite at our Snow Ball. Everyone was
raving about your show all weekend! Thanks for adding so much excitement
and energy to our evening. It was voted our Best Ever, and I have all of
you to thank for that. Best of Luck in all your endeavors. Hope to see
you soon at some of your local gigs. Thank you again for making us feel
younger than we really are. .. even for only a few hours. The aches and
pains after, were well worth it.
