I would like to know how to search the forum messages for the occurence of a song title, let's say 'West End Blues'. If I type in "West End Blues" ... including those quote marks, it doesn't just bring back results with that in but also messages with just 'West' in and 'End' and 'Blues'. I...
I have the brunswick/ vocalion louis Prima and Wingy Manone and love it. I'm really close to getting the bix/tram/teagarden set. I've almost ordered it twice now. I did buy the mentioned basie set on uk amazon. I couldn't resist a half priced mosaic set. Now if only I could find other cheap mosaic ...
Well very much my bad. I have a version by Chris Dean & the Syd Lawrence Orchestra, which I definitely should have said in the first place given the rightful assumption (on my post) would have been Glenn Miller.

But we had about 500 come out so I...
Re : purpose-built. It was designed from scratch, the entire inside of the building, the floors (there are multiple rooms as you'd expect in a building), the lighting system, the sound system. It's not a gym, a warehouse, community centre, elks lodge or a bingo hall, etc, etc... occasionally having ...
Here is most of mine from my second stint. It was opening night of a brand new, purpose-built ballroom in Tigard, OR. I was meant to be spinning for about an hour up to 11pm, but the minutes ticked past 11 and there was no sign of the DJ to take over so I suddenly realised I had to keep going, no pa...
