thanks tina, you rock !!! i've been dj'ing swing nights for almost 7 years in the tampa area so i must be doing something right. i've always made a point of playing non-swing genre tunes just to change up the night a bit. it's just my personal choice. i like every kind of music and it just seems nat...

thanks doug!!! i enjoyed reading your post and i do agree with pretty much everything you said. i love music and i love dancing and most of what i'm trying to say is that it seems like too many people make dancing a chore instead of just moving to the music, feeling the beat, etc.... i sort of have ...

hey mathew, * try ebay. it's usually a good place to check. make sure you check the shipping though. * also, get decent brand name electronics. don't buy something because it's cheap. * denon is probably one of the best. * numark are good too. * gemini is decent, but a little lower on the scale in m...

okay. so i understand all of your points regarding what swing music is. you're refering to it as the technical time signature writing of the song and not just if you can dance to it or not. i'm just talking about being able to swing dance to any music that works and i personally think that's fun. th...

what's the definition of a song swinging then? i can dance the same to a swing as i can to a non swing song so there's no difference there. if you're talking categorizing, then i agree, pop songs are not swing songs (if you care about labeling genres) but you can swing to them. so why in essence can...

If anyone asks for such pop music I can refer them to countless clubs that feature it. How many clubs can you refer someone to that feature Swing music? I can't, and wouldn't want to, request Basie at the Viper Room or the Lava Lounge here in my area. People shouldn't expect their request for Timbe...

it seems a little snobby to me that a person has to swing dance to swing music. if it swings, it swings. what does it matter if it's outkast, adam ant, basie, or nsync. i'm not a fan of boyband songs but if someone requests a pop song like that, who am i to tell them they can't swing to that. i prev...

man, i thought lindy hoppers didn't like the rockabilly crowd or the music. now i see that you don't even like each other. keep talking though. get it all out and eventually you'll come to some sort of agreement. i hope. i can tell you something though. there's none of this bullsh!t in the rockabill...
