Yeah, you're right. I think that's part of what was so humorous to me... they were extremely tight with details (including how long the gig is) but I think its because they're very unsure of what they're doing. I made some basic assumptions that the event would be similar to the informal Thursday ni...

Competitive bid to hire a DJ?
Just thought I'd share this (and put it here since economics factors into DJ'ing somewhere)... I was recently approached by a municipal Parks and Recreations director about DJ'ing a city sponsored swing dance. She said I'd been strongly recommended but that references didn't count, they're hiring th...

Don't get me wrong; good small musicians are rare gems to be nurtured. Heck, we're even planning a trip down to New Orleans to catch Linnzi Zaorksi this spring. My dilemma is I'm now in a small city with an extremely limited pool of swing musicians; with rare exception most here play exclusively fro...

I just stumbled across a good French compilation Jimmie Lunceford: Une Anthologie 1934-1942 on the Cabu label (?) Issued April 24, 2007 Listening to the songs back to back against the Swingsation recording I found the French recordings to be much crisper and clearer on almost every track; especially...

Arg! I spent 45 minutes listing bands and then the forum ate my list... but there are some great musicians (and wonderful people) who are very appreciative of DJ's playing their music amongst my My Space (froggy_and_miss_mousie) friends. Alternately, they're all on my regularly posted play lists on ...

I dropped about $30 for Blaze Media Pro's MP3 editor and its worked out very well for me. Definitely a lot more to it than I need. The only real problem I have is the application automatically turns the output volume up to maximum levels when the application launches. Just about deafened me and gave...

Remember those stories we heard as kids about the family who announces their daughter's wedding in the newspaper and while they're all out at the rehearsal dinner some professional thief, who's realized everyone would be out for the night, robs them blind. Same concept... I've now had enough strange...

"Gliss Me Again" by Johnny Guarnieri
As much as I love this song its a real crap shoot for me whether the treble glissandoes are going to overload the tweeters at the different venues I play at. I believe I got my version off emusic, but could there be a prefered recording I'm not aware of? I'm going to try to work some magic with the ...
