Last night we had the pleasure of playing the St. Louis Psychoanalytic Institute’s “Uncorked” fundraiser. It was a dreary maybe-going-to-rain night and we were to play outside … it was interesting because after what was a great success, I turned to Barb my friend/singer and said, “I totally wasn’t in the mood for this tonight, but once we started playing, it was great!” And she said, “I just thought the same thing!”

What a great place to have an event — the Magic Chef Mansion here in St. Louis off of Grand on Russell. Their event was called “uncorked,” and featured Patrick Murphy of St. Louis’ Channel 9 (the public television station). He was great — at one point he came up to us and said, “you guys look like you’ve been friends forever — the way you have so much fun playing with each other, the way I see you really enjoying each other’s solos and complimenting each other …” Well, Patrick is right!
It’s true the KM4 first and foremost has a lot of fun. Last night was no exception. We are so grateful for all the compliments we got. What a great evening! We are so grateful for the STLPI for letting us be part of their wonderful fundraising event.
