State Fair Round 2

Back at the Illinois State Fair.

Tony Hamilton Orchestra

Pre-dance fun.

Here we are again.  Good crowd!

I see a lot of microphones.  Comes with the job.  This is a condenser mic, ideal for instruments.

This is a very old building...

...but at least it has a disco ball!

Dancin'!

The title of this cha-cha is I Want to Be Happy, but to me, it always looks like: I Want to Cha Be Happy Cha.  It's the little things will amuse a musician...
