He came all the way from Memphis, Tennesse and was humble enough to do our show. We didn&#39;t have any rehearsal, so what you saw on the stage was pure improv. What a talent! By the way, Kirk was the one who soloed in Whitney Houston&#39;s &#39;I will always love you&#39;. It was a pleasure performing with him!

“Kita tidak ada latihan, jadi yang kalian lihat di grup itu murni improve,” tulis Afgan.

Afgan menambahkan, Kirk lah yang melakukan solo saksofon di lagu I Will Always Love You yang dibawakan di kesempatan itu. “Kehormatan bagiku bisa bersama Kirk Whalum di panggung semalam. Dia datang jauh-jauh dari Memphis, Tennesse dan cukup rendah hati untuk tampil,” tutup Afgan.

Sementara itu, penampilan Afgan yang paling dipuji rupanya adalah lagu Versace on the Floor dan Jalan Terus. Afgan pun mengaku penampilan lagu Jalan Terus membuatnya merinding.

“That feeling when you hear the whole venue singing along to 'Jalan Terus'... Brrrrr... merinding,” tulis Afgan di satu foto lain.
