Charley, can you play a Cha-Cha-Cha ?

Recently I was invited to photograph the celebrations of a Golden Wedding Anniversary.
My very good friend, Charley, on the Tenor Sax and Clarinet, together with Klaus, a very fine accordion player, provided the musical background in the church and later in a restaurant's private room for after dinner dancing. As is befitting for an almost  80 year old "Golden Wedding Anniversary" couple, the music was held in sedate tempos and rhythms. A slow English Waltz, a slow Fox Trot and other  quiet type of dance music, when all of a sudden, the "Golden couple" stops dancing and the groom calls out: 
"Charley, can't you play a Cha-Cha-Cha ?"
Well, that's when the party started.
