I've Been Working on the Railroad…
“Oh, listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar, As she glides along the woodland, o’er the hills and by the shore, Hear the rush of the mighty engine, Hear that lonesome hobo’s call, He’s riding through the jungles, On the Wabash Cannonball.” I don’t know why I think of the chorus from Wabash Cannonball every time I pass by…

Hot September Nights
“Ba de ya – say do you remember, ba de ya – dancing in September, ba de ya – never was a cloudy day!” Ah, “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire could almost be our theme song here at the LA County Fair. And both times the legendary R&B band rocked the Fair’s End of…
