I see "Asleep At The Wheel," is playing there tonight, Charles.
You were not sleeping at the wheel when you took this wonderful night shot.
Here is a link to the place. They have had their share of celebrities.
I have a cousin that lives in New Braunfels.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

This is the kind of place where they probably play "All The Girls Get Prettier At Closing Time." A nice presentation in B/W, Charles and a dance hall that I'd love to visit. Sittin' On A Bar Stool Acting Like A Darn Fool.

This looks great in B&W, and I like the lighting, I can almost hear the jukebox playing, very good imagery, perfect for the challenge.

Do they still dance on the floor with their hats on and carrying guns. I remember seeing that in Galveston a long time ago! Nice lighting in this b/w shot.

Charles, it could be that the name of this dance hall is derived from a German name, as 'gruene' stands in German for 'green'. A lot of German families have the family name 'Gruene' or 'Gr�ne'.
Think however that German 'Schlagers' aren't played there, lol.

I wonder how many people were thrown through the window over the years. :) Great B/W shot.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
