January 18, 2000
Waterloo, Iowa at the Electric Park Ballroom.  This ballroom was one that Buddy played in before but not on his Winter Dance Party Tour.  There are a few famous photos of him that Dick Cole took back in 1958.  Who do you think I get a phone call from at my hotel room? Dick Cole!  He graciously took me and my brother George out on a Waterloo tour and took some great photos of me and the band, many of which in the exact same place as his shots of Buddy.  Great crowd turnout and a fun stop.
