newJames Dean's 71st Birthday
Party Band: Crown Hill Diggers

We had the best time!  The band had equipment trouble, and it made the evening that much more informal and enjoyable.  We will never, ever, under any circumstances miss a chance to hear the Crown Hill Diggers!  In case you aren't from around here, Crown Hill is a cemetery in Indianapolis, a very old one, with many famous people resting inside its fence.   These Crown Hill Diggers led off with Switchblade Pompadour........ The crowd went wild and stayed wild!
