Gary Krupa played his accordion as background music to our socializing potluck and singing of Christmas carols. He set the tone of love and joy for the Christmas season.
Response from Gary Krupa Entertainment:
Thank you, Celeste, for your generous review on Gig Salad.
Part of the joy I feel for this Christmas and holiday season is being able to entertain with the accordion by playing the enchanting songs of Christmas. I'm also of the opinion that great food, great music and great people go great together. Your Christmas party this year featured all three in abundance. All your parties brightened our lives just because we were on hand to enjoy them. Thanks for inviting me to play at this year's Christmas party. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to contribute to a festive atmosphere at your home for the holidays.
Also, to perform with Safira, even if it was just for a short while, was an honor for me.

I'll perform songs that are appropriate for the venue I'm performing at. I may encourage the audience to dance or sing along. I'll play for a while, take a break for 15 minutes to a half hour, then play some more. I may ask another musician that I'm acquainted with to accompany me. Your delight will be my delight for the entire gig. I'm flexible about hours, type of music to play, when to take breaks, costume, and other aspects of the gig.
My name is Gary Krupa. I've played the accordion nearly my entire life. I've played mostly for private parties and family gatherings, but I also played professionally, such as at a Spanish restaurant in Port Jefferson, New York on a weekly basis. I play music that people enjoy listening to and sometimes dancing to. Do you like, or do your customers like songs like "Besame Mucho", "Always", "Autumn Leaves (Les Feuilles Mortes)", "Kiss of Fire"? I can play those songs on demand. I take requests and play what I know. If you give me a list of songs before the performance I'll play as many songs as I can from it. You can count on me to entertain your guests with passion and feeling. I enjoy entertaining people with my music.
If you have a microphone, amplifier and lighting equipment for me to use, I'll use them. Otherwise I'll bring my own equipment.

I've been influenced by great accordionists including my accordion teacher George Quackenbush and Myron Floren, the accordionist on the Lawrence Welk Show.
