SwingDJs

Thank you very much!!!!!!

So after the Hot Rhythm ball in Austin I have once again caught the shag bug so please some one what is the first song in this clip and can someone give me some other good shag suggestions. I know all the popular ones so more rare than Mr ghost goes to town, Caricoa, man from mars, or oh lady be goo...

It is killing me I need to know the first song. I think the faster 2nd song is Lafayette Bennie Moten

I use to overplay Mora's MR Vipers Moan and Rigamarole

I have always felt like the odd fish here. Sheez we turned to western swing and cajun to get any Balboa p...

Actually, I am right in the middle of this type of debate. I consider myself very traditionalist. 1930 and 1940 swing but of course love to play all the rest 1920s rockbilly, old blues etc. Well here in South Texas we go through trends one moment it is swing, the next it is more groove. I try to pla...

If you were to make a CD for Balboa dancing or for teaching Balboa which songs would you pick?
