Thank you so very much for your excellent services at the Relay For Life of Waukee!!! You did a great job and your kindness is so greatly appreciated. Please mark the date down for next year. Please do not hesitate to increase the charges next year - you are well worth it! Rick provided very professional services to us from the coordination and planning of the event through the entire 12 hours of the event. He was friendly, fun and entertaining. Very easy to work with and accommodating. Always willing to help us when we had questions or needed something on the spur of the moment. He was very interactive with the crowd and other entertainers. The music was very interactive and fun for all ages. He played all types of music so that everyone was entertained. The crowd especially loved his Elvis Biggs impersonation. Next year we will do it earlier in the night so that more people can see him. He also did some numbers for us with karaoke and has a beautiful voice. The equipment was of high-quality and good sound. It looked pretty complicated to me, but Rick handled it with ease. We used the karaoke to keep all ages entertained from 12 midnight until 5am and it did the trick. People of all ages and talents were willing to step up on stage to perform. Rick provided us with a special price for a charitable cause (American Cancer Society fundraiser). It was a steal and his services brought the entire event up several notches allowing us to raise more money then we ever dreamed possible. By Far The Best. Very accommodating and great to work with. Excellent. -- Sandy Swallow - Chairperson - Relay For Life Waukee [6/8/07]

Rick -- I just wanted to say “THANK YOU” so much for your awesome work at this year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life! You really helped to make our event flow as smoothly as it did! The announcements that we were able to have you make, the background music, the announcement of the teams, the coordination of the band set-ups – your help was so appreciated and you did such an outstanding job! There are not a lot of people out there that are so willing to give their time and services as you are to community charities – I can tell you put your heart and soul into the work that you do and into making the event as enjoyable as possible for everyone – your special touches really add a unique approach to the evening and you helped set our event apart from others and we really hope you can come again next year!!! Thanks again, Rick, you were awesome!!!! -- Natalie Wilson - Director, Education Services - Iowa Hospital Association [6/9/06]

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you and Showtime Entertainment for being a part of this year's Relay For Life of Waukee! After holding the event the previous two years without a professional entertainment company involved, you were a godsend to us! Our weakest areas in the past were the sound system and the lack of communication with the people in attendance. You nicely overcame both. It was such an pleasure for me to work with someone so flexible and knowledgeable of our needs. You made my job much less stressful and fun not having to worry about areas out of my expertise. Hope you can again join us next year! -- Patty Myers - Chairperson - Relay For Life Waukee [6/9/06]

Dear Ludwigs - We are thankful for your recent donation of the karaoke machine and music for our annual school carnival, the Big Blue Bash. This year's event was a wonderful success - we had hundreds of children and parents in attendance and it was a great evening of building community in our school family. We appreciate your contribution - the music made the atmosphere so enjoyable! Thank you for your support of Des Moines Christian School. You are a blessing to us! With deep appreciation -- Jennifer Erickson - Secretary of Parent-Teacher Fellowship. [2/19/07]

Rick -- Just wanted to thank you for your help in coordinating Karaoke Idol I and Idol II at Trophy's which generated $459 for Bowl for Kids' Sake.

I have had several positive comments about your performance! Hopefully it will generate some business for you as well! -- Darla Rowley - American Cancer Society Marshall County [7/10/04]

Rick was very accommodating for our special needs. His reduced fee due to our non-profit status was very generous and allowed to arrange a very memorable and festive event for our consumers. The music choices were unlimited and met all of our interests. The equipment seemed very easy to set up and was easy to use by our participants. Very generous! I especially appreciated Rick's quick replies to my correspondence and his easy manner in making the arrangements. I appreciated how easily Rick was able to interact and make accommodations for our participants, many of whom are disabled. He seemed very comfortable with our crowd and our facility. Overall, the service was very good and easy to work with. -- Sarah Bohlke - Richmond Center in Ames [12/11/03]

Rick was very helpful our first year in being able to provide the service on such a short notice, I knew we could continue to rely on him for this year. He provided an excellent service and was very willing to help out in other areas of the event as well. The music was acceptable for all ages and Rick did a great job at finding music to fit each situation at the event (demonstrations, start line, etc.) I felt that the sound was great for an outdoor event and we had positive feedback from participants that they could hear the music while they were on the walking trail. The price was definitely affordable, especially with a fund raising event, we are always trying to keep services at a little or no cost. Thank you for your willingness to work with non-profit associations trying to reach out to their communities. Excellent. Dear Rick, Thank you very much for joining the American Lung Association for our second annual "Blow the Whistle on Asthma" walk. Everyone enjoyed the entertainment during the walk and are looking forward to next year. As soon as we have a date finalized, I will be in contact with you. -- Jodi Moyer - American Lung Association [10/4/03]

On behalf of the children at Sacred Heart School, I would like to offer our sincere thanks for your donation and participation with our fall auction!

Dear Rick: Thank you so much for donating your karaoke equipment for the State Employees Food Bank fundraiser... It was the first time we tried karaoke and we had a riot!

Dear Rick: On behalf of the American Diabetes Association, I would like to thank you for your time and support of this year's Walktoberfest. Your music was wonderful!
