"I just got married two days ago... (Protocol) started with a jazz trio during cocktail hour, then brought over 3 hours of hard hitting funk/rock/soul/swing, etc. After the wedding, basically everyone attending commented that the band was 'off the hook, unbelievable... '
When the music stopped at around 1:30, the crowd started chanting 'one more song, one more song.' And of course, they granted our wishes.Thanks again for the amazing set; I couldn't be happier.
