Srawhatters Stage Frontierland

Nice photograph of the stage that sat by the waters edge in Frontierland. The Strawhatters band played at this stage with the times shown on the sign. The Strawhatters were a Dixieland band in the style of Kid Ory, Firehouse 5 plus 2 and others during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Disneyland records even released a 45 rpm single with picture sleeve for the band. The early amplification of a PA system is really neat and in the background can be seen the Plantation House restaurant. I also like the colorful umbrellas.
