I love live entertainment, theatre, music, dance and even performance artists.

Sometimes you get very special performances and during the holiday season. I love to search for something with some level of nostalgia.

Saturday night at Shank Hall, I've got it. A reunion gig by the R&B Cadets is on tap. With John Sieger and Robin Pluer headlining, what is one
of the best bands this city every produced will showcase many of its great hits.

The Subcontinentals, with Sieger and Kelli Gonzales, will play before the Cadets. I'm hoping they can do "I'm Your Puppet," by the Purify Brothers, one
of my favorites.

And the generational run of the Siegers continues with Sam on drums leading his band, the Calamaties at 8 p.m.

Rock and Roll should be a big part of Christmas and this evening promises to deliver.
