I am really isolated here. So I don't know any of the trends in swing music of the nation.(Well only what I read here too.) I only get out of Texas twice a year. Songs overplayed elsewhere are not overplayed here. Actually the two songs listed I picked up at Cleveland Bal event 2 years ago. I mix th...

Overplayed songs to Balboa to

Kind of curious whether there are any songs out there that are used for Balboa that are way overplayed. Songs you would rather not hear anymore.

[Answered] I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive

Ok I usually hear a version of this song that is not the country verison. It is played in jack n jills. Mid 1950s R&B. This is driving me crazy because I can only find the Hank Williams version. Who sings it?

Oh my I go away for a week and the topic explodes. Plat. I know that my sets are what they are and certain people love them but I still feel that the majority of dancers don't want to hear them. I have always felt like the odd fish here. Sheez we turned to western swing and cajun to get any Balboa p...

Is there an swing left at all?

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?
