April 10th, 2006 at the Mid-America Club (80th floor of the Aon
Building):
"Kevin,
What
a great time! What I heard from the group was nothing but praise
for the whole event. Your versatility and also sensitivity to the
situation and the crowd was impressive. The pre-dinner piano music
was just right. It was fun seeing several of the guests gathered
around the piano, listening to Misty accompanying the clinking of
glasses and the oohs and aahs as we all took in the view from the
Mid-America club. Full moon on a clear night from 80 floors up with
piano, nice! Then, and it was a great and pleasant surprise to me,
the dinner music! As we sat chatting and eating the full band
played some jazz classics at just the right volume for the room.
Many of the guests danced between courses. Then, just as they
cleared the tables, the lights dimmed, and Sundance the dance band
emerged. Gloria Gaynor! Wow, it was great, everyone was on their
feet. Scientists do like to dance. . The way you guys read
the crowd was impressive. Your cranked it up a notch and I think
nearly everyone was dancing-- past presidents of the society and
students a like. Your band brought out the boggie in everyone. I
don't know if its the singer or the horns-- or both, but you really
capture that Chicago sound-- and hosting this meeting of
international scientists; it was perfect. Of course being
able to sit in and play the harp was such a treat for me. And did
we tear the place down with "Sweet Home Chicago!" Wow, it was so
fun. The Society president just happened to be named Sally--
so how perfect was that when we played Mustang Sally. Then Johnny B
Goode! The place went wild. Seeing you and the singer dancing
when I was playing the harp was really fun. And after all that
energy, you came back with a nice slow ballad, and let everyone
catch their breath. Your finale capped the evening off-- as you
took to the floor with your trombone, all the ladies were swooning.
I am so pleased I found you guys to play for our function and will
absolutely hire you again. In the mean time, plan on seeing
me at some of your club dates-- its about the most fun I've had in
years."
Yours in admiration and appreciation-- Buck Hales, Professor,
UIC.

"Kevin Cline Productions" and their band "Sundance" played at our
Khe Sanh Veterans reunion in Chicago, IL July 2005. A very talented
band that played songs we requested. They kept our dance floor full
with 60's music. They did a great job and we recommend this band
highly!"
