What a lovely time we had! The weather was unbelievably cooperative... relatively cool for this time of year, crisp and clear. We played for the Glen Echo Friday Night Dance in the beautiful Spanish Ballroom.

More than 400 dancers came out to contribute their energy to the cause. Great tailgate party too! The band spent Saturday at Harpers Ferry, and visited dancer pal Ann Hineman, then played the Frederick dance where our pal Chef Wally presented us with a massive amount of really great chocolate from the Wilbur Chocolate Co. in Lititz PA. Thanks again, Wally!!! Then it was back to Glen Echo for the Sunday night dance in the bumper car pavillion... where the dancers spurred us on to pour ever more energy into the tunes. A good time was had by all.
