KC All Stars Reviews, References
KC All Stars, thank you guys for a great performance! You made our wedding reception into a great party!! In fact, I think we needed a bigger dance floor :) Everyone had a fantastic time. We will look forward to seeing you guys play at RAGBRAI or perhaps in KC again. You guys rock! - Kate and Bob
Dear KC All Stars, we just wanted to let you know how pleased we all were by the band's performance. I agree with your philosophy of the band "making or breaking" a wedding - the KC All Stars did not disappoint. I cannot tell you the amount of people who came up to us and asked "where did you find that band? They are fantastic!" I am so grateful we were in attendance at a wedding KC where the KC All Stars were playing, if not, we never would have thought to go outside of Omaha to find a band for our daughter's wedding. Please share or extend this note to the band. If possible, I think we all "could have danced all night". Sincerely, Harriet Epstein
Thank you KC All Stars and crew for making our event a memorable one and donating your time to a wonderful cause. The Niles Home for Children would like to thank you and we wish you much success in the future. - Valerie Nicholson-Watson, President and CEO, Niles Home for Children
KC All Stars, great job! Thanks for everything! You came to my rescue several times and I really appreciated your tactfulness. Thanks again, Jane Pierce
KC All Stars - Thank you very much for performing at our wedding. You rocked the Nelson [Art Gallery] and we received raving reviews! Mike and I really enjoyed working with you. It was very nice of you to help us with the rehearsal dinner as well. You were really responsive and on top of things, it made my life as a bride so much easier. I would recommend you to anyone and really appreciated the awesome show! - Jenny and Mike Sharp
KC All Stars ~ I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding reception fabulous! Everyone commented on how "awesome" the band was and how "amazing" the vocalist was. You all did a great job and made the reception so much fun. Pretty sure Vince didn't get off the dance floor the last two hours of the reception. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed "Poker Face" especially. :) Thank you again! - Lara and Vince Bennett
Thank you so much for making our day special. The KC All Stars were amazing! They did a fantastic job of organizing the introductions, the bouquet toss, and everything else. As we made our way around the room to say our thank yous, it was great to look at the dance floor and see it crowded. We had so many people compliment us on the selection of the band, but even more than that, people were telling us how much fun the band was. Indeed, The KC All Stars were incredibly entertaining and they impressed everyone. If you ever need a recommendation, please let us know because we will let anyone know about the singing, dancing, and smiles that the KC All Stars brought to our party. Thank you for making our reception so memorable! Love, Brooke and Greg
The Kansas City Chiefs would like to thank The KC All Stars for once again putting on an incredible show at our home opener! We look forward to many more performances from your outstanding group at future games. It's been great working with you this again this season. Thanks for all that you do! - From the Entire Marketing Staff @ The Kansas City Chiefs

Legends Shopping Center Defaults on Loan
The company that holds the loan for The Legends shopping center said that they were going to "draw up a new loan plan for The Legends" in light of their recent loan default. Surely with the combined hillbilly draws of The Nebraska Furniture Mart, Cabella's, the NASCAR track, and finally the Hollywood Casino, The Legends Shopping Center should be able to get back on it's feet. Maybe that area should just go all the way and open up a large truck stop type motel and restaurant like Love's Truck Stop, that would put the icing on the white trash cake for that area.
We will keep you posted on The Legends Shopping Center in Kansas City and the state of their financial situation. As of now, since the center is being run by overweight women, it has been built to cater to overweight women, but if they can convert it to a rural hillbilly attraction I think that they will strike gold and get more business. Ooh! Maybe a new Silver Dollar City! Now that would be a great idea, it could be like the new Branson, Missouri out there - yeeeee-hawww!
