GirlieGirl, I thought this would be a good time to quote myself (!) from what I posted earlier. Also, kudos to ALX for not pretending to be something their not. We may hate to admit it, and there *definitely* are people who fall into multiple categories, but just as the LA Binge or ULHS caters to on...

the music DID trump the theme. Here here! Even JC played a great set of swingin' music as oppossed to the normal westie stuff! LOL! This was definitely one of the best exchanges I've been to in awhile in terms of quantity *and* quality of dancing. The amount of dancers still remaining when after ho...

The following text was included in the Attendee Email that went out yesterday, since it applies to the DJs, I thought I would post it here as well. There was a lot of text in the email and it is easy to overlook things. If you are interested, let me or Lawrence know, we can probably come pick you u...

Here, here! My favorite version is by far from Live at the Sands. They swing their asses of on that one. There have been numerous occassions where I felt the DJ before me wasn't playing much swing in their set (or as much as I like) and I've used that as my first song to set the new mood. For comple...

Fine, Mike, you win. You answered the question I wrote. I was looking for specific versions of specific songs (so that we could discuss those songs), which I thought was clear in my post and which Reuben and Lawrence answered for me (assuming, of course, that Lawrence meant the 1940 Ellington versio...

Mike, you still haven't answered my question. Maybe I wasn't clear enough, so I apologize. Can you - or anyone else - give me a specific example of a 12 bar format song that you feel swings that you wouldn't consider to be blues.
