[78-L] Revised American Dance Band Discography^

[simmonssomer]

You're not kidding Cary.
In case we believe that we are living in a land populated by a rational 
species,  one need only check out the cost of taking a kid or two to a ball 
game in New York. It seems that there are some 35,000 specimens, daily, 
willing to pay from $300 to $7,500 for the privilege.
Is this reality or am I on the wrong side of "The Looking Glass?"
