Thank you for posting this video. It brings back a lot of memories of being at the Pillow with my grandmother (Gertrude Hallenbeck) who tool me and my sister there when we were young. I am thankful to of had that experience because the Pillow in part taught me an appreciation for the art of dance. Next time I go back home to Albany I will be sure to take time to make a trip to the pillow.
