A great way to swing in the holidays!
by DorothynotfromKansas on 12/1/14Charline McCombs Empire Theatre - San AntonioThis was a collective effort of accomplished musicians in their own right. Mr. Watkins played down his band's and vocalist's abilities quite humorously. The atmosphere was perfect, from the "Charlie Brown Christmas" tree on the piano to the conductor's wingtip shoes. Too bad it only lasted an hour, but what a wonderful, toe-tapping hour! All the soloists were impressive, although Mr. Ruiz's Latin departure off "Linus & Lucy" on trumpet was somewhat abrasive to start off the evening. Can't wait to see them play the Empire or any other SA venue again!
