Kahulanui at McMenamins’ Edgefield (Little Red Shed), Troutdale, OR
While exploring McMenamins Edgefield, we found a Hawaiian big band (!) playing next to the Little Red Shed and stopped to dance. We also picked up all of the CDs that they were selling.

Silverwood Theme Park, Athol, Idaho
There’s live music in the High Moon Saloon! We enjoyed the comedy and tunes from … was it the Silverwood Mountain Boys? Anyways, they ended their set with One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful”, so we jumped up and danced! Whee! 😀
SoCal Renaissance Pleasure Faire – Irwindale
Great band called VaNa MaZi played a really great song, so we danced in the back! It was really interesting dancing on dirt in Faire garb.
Monterey Bay Aquarium – Monterey, CA
So they have a musical at the tidal pool featuring puppets made of recyclable materials and aquarium employees singing! It’s actually quite enjoyable for a little 12-minute show. During the playoff music, Laura and I did a little dancing in the back area.
Starbucks – Incline Village, NV
So we head into Starbucks waiting for the local movie theatre to open up and show us Sucker Punch and Whatever Lola Wants (Lola Gets) (from Damn Yankees) by some woman and a male chorus is playing and it puts us in the mood to dance. After we order, You’re Getting To Be A Habit With Me (from 42nd Street) by what sounds an awful lot like Frankie comes on and we give it a try, snow-boots/galoshes and all. It works pretty well, but Laura points out that while on her toes, the galosh (is that the right singular?) is still on the ground. Oh and switches are murder. 🙂
Lloyd’s of Avalon
Pretty music is irresitible…and the tile floor was very easy to dance on.
Main Street Firehouse – Disneyland
It’s no longer Firehouse 5+2…it’s Hook & Ladder? Oh well – they still play great music! A mixture of jazz and Christmas tunes that were fun to dance to!
Grand Californian Hotel Lobby
The pianist showed up and started a half hour medley. He started with Disney love songs (mixed with Hotel California and Hero), then transitioned to a swing/jazz set of songs including Makin’ Whoopie and Old Man River. The tile floor around the edge of the lobby is VERY comfortable to turn on without being too slippery. Yay!
Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair
All Dentist Rock Band on the South Stage was playing “Great Balls Of Fire” and later played “Go Daddy-O”.
