Live At The Pella Opera House
I had the great experience of playing the historical “Pella Opera House” in the college town of Pella, Iowa. That’s where the tall corn grows and appreciative audiences are. It was a treat to sing again with a big band and balcony full of enthusiastic college students.

Where in Iowa is Jeff?...The Sequel
Here is the 2008 version of Where in Iowa is Jeff? From February to November, I logged 9,850 miles and collected 300 dancing clips. Between the 2007 and 2008 videos, I visited all 99 Iowa counties and drove somewhere between 15,000 and 18,000 miles.
Since last year focused on the top-tier Iowa spots, this years video visits more obscure Iowa places and enabled me to interact more with Iowans along the way. If you think you've seen all of Iowa, you are wrong. Keep looking; you'll be amazed at what you find.
