Let's fox trot

Walcott Coliseum

Walcott, IA

An appreciative crowd.

Yes. Let's!

Break between sets.  

Bari sax player extraordinaire: Julie Craighead!

I just liked how this looked.  Saxophone art.

Lakeside Ballroom

 The hall.  Look at all that dance space!

Red Clarinet on the job.  This clarinet gets around.

The hall lost power for about 30 minutes because of the heat.  We played a bit anyway (and the dancers kept dancing), with some help with illumination from some handy flashlights.  The bass player (in the red vest) couldn't play without electricity, so he helped light up the pianists music.  The trombone and bari sax players helped with the bass line.  THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Out of doors

Dancing on an evening breeze.

It's nice to play outside.  Sometimes.

Stephan's Square, Moline, IL

 Such a lovely evening.

Why, Hello, Dolly!

At the fair

The hall

Playing the alto book.

Occasionally, they let us out from behind the fronts.

Red Clarinet Rockin'

Rock band show this time.  With the infamous Red Clarinet.

In a Muscatine, IA bowling alley, if I remember correctly.

And, yes, it is an odd thing to take a clarinet to a bar.

Col Ballroom, Davenport, IA

Terry Smith.  Or, I should say, THE Terry Smith.
