It’s an American Classic…a fast-talking traveling huckster comes to River City to make a quick buck.  Oh, but if you’re robbing a bank or selling a band, never underestimate the power or appeal of the Midwesterners; you may never leave.  Filled with all-time favorite and comfortably familiar songs, it’s fun for all ages.
