Yacht Club Ball
Knight Music plays each year for the Boca Grande Pass Yacht Club's Commodore's Ball.
The event is held at the Gasparilla Inn Beach Club on Boca Grande, an island north of Naples on the Florida Gulf Coast.
Guests enjoy Ted's jazz combo for cocktails on the patio, with the sound of surf in the background.
Inside, the full band plays smooth sounds like The Look of Love and The Girl From Ipanema, followed by a break for dinner. Past Commodore Bob Lambrecht is pictured welcoming guests, and thanking Ted for his music.
Then
it's time for dancing. Vocalist Tom
Willis does numbers like You Make Me Feel So Young, Jump Jive 'n'
Wail, and Every Day I Have the Blues. Ted sings Old
Time Rock and Roll and Louis Jordan's
Choo Choo Ch'Boogie.
Knight Music has played for the Commodore's Ball each year since 2005, when the club found the group by Internet search. Ted's band is booked to play for the ball again in 2012.
