Kim Wilson played a free show at The Beach Shack in Cocoa Beach, FL last Thur night. Backing him up were some old Detroit friends in the Doug Deming and the Jewel Tones band.
 
Kim was pleased with the band, having chosen them as one of his solo act touring units.
 
Kim was in a very good mood that night.
 
Kim played stronger, swung harder and was more on top of it than ever witnessed before by this fan.
 
He was(is) a freakin' force of nature.
 
Can you tell I enjoyed the show?
 
Only able to stay for the first set, I feel that no one can touch Kim for total radiance of music and control of the intensity. Everything about him - his body language, facial expressions, sense of groove and playing behind the beat, direction of the band, confidence - fills the room. At this point in his life, it sounds as if every note played has a larger and deeper meaning somehow; something only gained by your life's sands of time draining into a vestle totally committed to your music.
 
whew
