"You really made the wedding for us (so much so that we put you in our wedding announcement!)."
—Diana Culp Bork (wife to the son of the Honorable Robert H. Bork)

"Alexandra Miller's birthday party was a dazzling, glamorous, five-star affair. The wild band, Doc Scantlin and His Imperial Palms, came from Washington, D.C. and brought three fabulous flapper girls to entertain, Twenties style."
— W Magazine (Suzy's Column)

"You and your band were show-stopping wonderful. Now you have a new legion of folks to spread the word, not least of them including Al and Tipper."
— Hodding Carter, III (Mainstreet Television Production Company)

"Your fantastic music helped to make this The Host Chapter Party of the decade."
— Susan A. Retz, AIA & Sharon F. Washburn, AIA
   (Washington Chapter American Institute of Architects)

"The performance by you and your Imperial Palms surpassed all the publicity we had read about you. It certainly was the highlight of one of the most memorable events we've held in Washington."
— Michael R. Pinter, Senior Executive Vice President, Kemper Corporation

"The zest with (which) your orchestra played, the homefront announcements from the stage, and your lovely ladies in WW II (period dress)...were all master strokes which showed the preparation you and your group had put into lending an air of authenticity to a very fun evening."
— Rick Carter, U.S. A.I.D. Privatization Project

Newspaper Reviews
"Is this a dance? Or a costume party? Or have I wandered onto the set of some 1930's musical? Doc's band knows and plays just about everything, but focuses on the works of such giants as Cab Calloway, George Gershwin and Irving Berlin."
— Larry Fox, The Washington Post

"Scantlin's all arms and elbows, a nutty herky-jerky Looney Tunes cartoon of a conductor...showbiz schtick aside, Scantlin stands out from the big-band bunch."
—Joe Brown, The Washington Post

"The first person to appear for a Washington D.C. concert was a mohawked punker later judged less weird than Scantlin."
— Russ DeVault, The Atlanta Journal
