Thank you for the wonderful musical tour through the US. We so loved your
playing on your new guitar and the rattle of the tambourine. Rest Haven is
still tapping to the beat of your marvelous musical performance. Sorry if we
held you over but we so sure cared for your music and jocularity. Please
come back again.
Hugs, Loves and Prayers,

Hello John! Just a note to say hello.
I received many "hello
messages" from you in the field. Every facility loves
you! Each and every 36 hour course.... I tell everyone
about you and activity directors shout out loud.... he
comes to our facility....our residents love him. We Xerox
your business card and give everyone in the class a copy.
Take care and hope to
"run into you" soon! Best Wishes, Susan Quattrochi-Tubin

He has performed for senior groups, retirement
communities, health care facilities, women's clubs, and many
other venues full time for the past ten years. While some
performers of this venue learn and play just a handful of the
same old songs over and over at the same places, John Boda's
repertoire is nearly 1000 songs and he also keeps notes of each
group as to requests and set list that was played so the next
booking will be different each time. Just as each group is
different, each performance varies as to tempo, songs and energy
level. He can play quiet dinner instrumental mood music...or
high energy swing and dance songs, or any combination depending
on the crowd
John Boda strongly feels that three things are
important in successfully performing this music venue; 1. A high
level of musical skill is needed along with and ever growing
knowledge and understanding of it's original writers. performers
and history. 2. An up-beat and energetic personality is needed
to both interact and entertain with the audiences. 3. Lastly,
and maybe most unique, a person needs an acute sense of
"reading" the crowd and choosing an appropriate set list of
songs. John Boda excels in all three areas.
