Saw you folks at Cotati, Outstanding music!! Bella Ciao is smooth,
professional, and fun. Your timing is incredible. Missed you at the Reno
Italian Festival, If I'd known you were going to be there, I would have been
there.
Jim Shelly October, 2005
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing "Bella Ciao" Sunday
(October 9, 2005) at the El Dorado Cabaret. Remo Minato, Portland
Italian Festival
You folks did an
outstanding job! The folks at the ACR (Accordion Club of the Redwoods) are far
from the toughest crowd you'll play for, BUT they don't "give away" standing
ovations. You folks EARNED those ovations. We all had a super time. Thank you
VERY much!!

Nelson, President - Accordion Club of the Redwoods. April 19, 2005
I heard you
play on Sunday, June 5 (2005) and fell in love with your band!

"From toe-tapping tarantella to the familiar
musical interrogatory, 'Quando, Quando, Quando?' Bella Ciao's debut at Copia
(Napa, CA) was well received by an enthusiastic crowd."-Pierce
