"The best, always very special and different. This "Companion Event," combined with a preceding Showcase, stands alone in its unique presentation. The highest regards go to being genuinely and sincerely well run. Kudos to "D'z" integrity for always a job well done... It's about the music, contributive philanthropy, NOT a competition or Karaoke.
