SwingDJs

in looking for a fletcher "something" I happened by this page

http://www.tuxjunction.net/mall4.htm

it has a breif listing of some auto/biographies of selected big band leaders, looks like a nice little reference page

likewise with Artie Shaw cuts and the clarinet. blow out some eardrums with some of that stuff


I appreciate it as well when another person, esp. a DJ, tells me to adjust the volume. It is much appreciated!

thanks for the suggestions guys

all I was asking of you at the binge Jesse was to play something good. was that toomuch to ask for?

thanks


(sorry if i sound bitchy)

good job on the volume for the weekend. i loved it loud

TDK isnt all that

i have a velocd 40/12/48x and I have had nothing but problems with it. lack of good information on the site about troubleshooting is my biggest complaint.

actually I was talking about

Count Basie Live in Japan 1978

I like Herman's version of "Things ain't the way they used to be"

yeah, but have you heard Basie's version of it. man it's good!

thanks


sorry about that
