The New York State Fair over the years has featured entertainers who set up their “stage” in various locations around the fairgrounds.  This year, I had an up close and personal encounter with Bandaloni, THE One Man Band, as he played Bob Seger’s Night Moves.

Hilby, the Skinny German Juggler, is a funny but obnoxious entertainer.  For some reason when he throws an insult at people, they love it!  Go figure?
