“I heard Daniel Watson perform his own piano composition during a dinner gala at the 1899 Event Center. Generally dinner musicians, like great sound technicians, aren’t noticed when they’re doing a good job, but Daniel’s piano accompaniment was like a sweet aroma in the room or the perfect aperitif, setting the mood and making us wish for more! I recommend him highly.”
