Kathy W. at the Saddle West Casino

Being friends with Kathy for several years now, I was also anxious to introduce her to part of my family, so brought along my mother and daughter-in-law.
Less than an hour from Vegas, we knew the minute we drove down the main part of town we were in the right place, as we couldn't miss the large marquee flashing photos of Kathy, along with these words:
Kathy Westmoreland Show,
Seven years with Elvis Presley
Guest Appearance by Jack Reeves
Saturday January 29
2 Shows
6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
We were thankful we'd purchased our tickets beforehand, as the first thing we discoved as we walked in the casino was that both shows were already sold-out.
Promptly at 6:00 p.m. Kathy made her entrance, looking absolutely stunning in black leather pants, gold lame top, dangling gold earrings, gold high heels, and one of her trademark gold arm-bracelets like the ones she was famous for in the 70s.
Overheard from the audience as she made her way to the stage comments like, "Wow, she looks as great as she did thirty years ago."
It was evident from the minute she walked on that stage the audience was all hers. The Kathy Westmoreland we all loved in the '70s definitely still has it all, looks, charm, charisma, humor, and most important, that beautiful high voice of hers which is still as magnificent as ever.
Kathy gave her all, as she showed off all the versatility of her beautiful voice, by singing everything from pop, to country, to pure Elvis.
When Kathy sang "Love Me Tender," Sandi Pichon's husband Stanley gave her roses, a kiss and a scarf, leading the way to humor, memories, and stories of Elvis.
Kathy's friend Jack Reeves' son Matt, played guitar, as part of her band for the evening, and Jack's younger son Cole performed in the pre-show with Jack himself. For photos of Matt, Jack, Cole, Dick and Jimmy Dale and others having fun during the filming of the up-coming HBO Special "Dick Dale and Friends", tune into Dick Dale's ranch
