Album:San Francisco:2004-10-07 Basie100 NY Frim Fram

Yehoodi held a 100th birthday party for Count Basie.

The dancing was great the first two nights. Unfortunately the big night was crowded and the band was doing that too slow/too fast for 10 minute song thing, and there was no late night on Sat! Shame, New York.

I suppose Sunday would've be fun, but I got food poisoning.

Ugh.

Regardless, the first two nights were so much fun, and so many of my favorite dancers were there that it was like a mini-Herrang for two days. Even a bunch of the Hot Shots showed up. The only thing missing was the freezing cold showers. :)

for the whole shebang was the Yehoodi 6th Anniversary awards

explaining something very important
It probably has to do with
spinning little fuzzy things
The bandshell
is reminiscent of LiTP. It seems Lindy practices it's 'church' at bandshells.
Hallelujah!
Dancing crowd [movie] Umm.
I have this problem with cameras, see..
