TestimonialsHi, Jacqueline, It was great meeting you and performing with Dwight. Please tell Dwight, I did receive his message and will give him a call Monday. HE'S OVER THE TOP ONE FABULOUS MUSICIAN WITH A SOUL OF GOLD. Hugs to you both and lets see how to connect to more kids. Michael Oshiver
"Dwight Foster is one talented, dedicated and friendly performer. Dwight's music is smooth and eloquent with the continuous flow only a Jazz Master can perform. Mr. Foster has the talent to play 10 musical instruments and when he walked into Java Time once with out any of his instruments we where very disappointed. Dwight has the talents of a Master Musician that fits exquisitely into Java Times ambiance." Steve Russell, Owner |
