KWJS Concert: As Reviewed By Ryan


Ryan attended the concert last Wednesday, 02 June 1999, at the Recher Theater in Baltimore, MD. This is what he had to say about it.




Upon asking him to give me a review of the show:

katharine performing with her jazz squad "I don't mind if you do, except nothing really BIG happend this time (not to me at least). The show was really good though!!!! Well, the people kept on referring to my dad as the guy from Mammoth. They decided that he could take pictures up on the stage wing for the first three songs. When I went to follow him back, they said "Sorry, nobody under 21 is allowed backstage". When my dad went back there he said he actually ran into Jimbo, so the manager introduced him."

jimbo at the kwjs concert "Jim was really nice, and had a heavy southern accent. And as he was leaving, he walked right past Kat. That night the Jazz Squad was introduced by Jimbo, and he continued to be the speaker for the show. It also happend to be the sax players 31st wedding anniversary, which Kat commented on by saying "Yeah, and she locked him out". Katharine's voice was perfect, I didn't hear one glitch all night. They seemed to play every song on the album, and a couple more that weren't on it. I managed to get three Jazz Squad posters and a couple of post cards. It was one of the best shows i've been to, and I get to see another one next week."*

A few days later, Ryan added:

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you something else that happened at the show. When we first got there we were walking behind the place when I heard a trombone playing. As I walked further I saw Katharine, Jim, and the trombone player standing in the alley right outside the door. I could of easily walked over and said hi, but they looked like they were getting ready for the show and I didn't want to intrude."

* Stay tuned for Ryan's review of tomorrow's (Wednesday, 09 June 1999, at The Birchmere in Washington, DC) KWJS concert!
