“I
would like to add my voice to the chorus that reverberates all
around Chicago singing the praises of your talent and your band!
You provided a Knock Out evening for us on so many levels
. . . My husband, an old blues and jazz piano playing guy himself,
was reached in a way he hasn't been in years. Thank you for
that! ”

“Your
performance at Saturday's Equinox Ball was AMAZING! Many of
our guests have had the privilege of hearing you perform on
other occasions, but "first timers" were blown away
by the energy, enthusiasm and musical talent (instrumental and
vocal) of your band.
You filled the dance floor with every song, and created some
of the best photo opportunities of the evening.
It was truly one of the highlights of the Wellness House gala."

recently we experienced your extraordinary talents at the Republican
National Convention in San Diego. We will, however, always remember

“Because
of the sadness surrounding the events of September 11, we thought
that holding an event such as this would be a challenge at best.
But, because of your support and assistance, the event went
on as planned and was a huge success. Thank you so much for
providing the fabulous music during dinner and dancing - as
always, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.”
