Wow, I have a Maxine Sullivan/Scott Hamilton CD that I disliked. Swingin Sweet from 1988, I believe. I didn't find anything worth playing. That's the one.. go back and listen to Loch Lomond, the bagpippy sounding intro is a little unusual, but it's a great tune. Not that it's a thread for her, but ...

I don't think there's a big problem. Some of the other threads are very good. In fact, the 50's bands thread is 12 pages, and that's very focused on music. The thing is, when talking about a specific artist, everyone will exchange recommendations and then there isn't a lot more to be said. There's n...

Boy, that didn't take people long! Now I hope everyone noticed that Rayned actually didn't get every one of them! Of course it wasn't actually a swing song... That Woody Herman tune did indeed come from SF via Meeshi years ago, so maybe he got it from Marc. I'm glad I finally know the title, it real...

You know this idea of uploading clips is pretty cool. Why don't we all do this more? We talk about music in words so much, it's pretty cool to use actual examples. I know why I hadn't done it. Laziness, lack of server space, and slow internet connection. Well, now I have road-runner cable, problem s...

OK, I have my own mystery songs that I'd like some help identifying. A couple I've had for a while, a few I got from Bernard of Toulouse, and one of those was labeled from Virginia. Actually, I know some of the info, or have guesses myself, but I left them completely unlabeled so you could more full...

Hmmm, seems like we've done this topic to death before. But anyway. I would only insert 1-2 per night, like you said, and in the past I've played the following types: slow blues, soul-jazz, current modern pop, hip-hop or a non-swinging rock n roll. Once I played a Waltz song. I've never played a pol...

You know, I really have no idea what this thread is about now. What exactly are you guys arguing about? So some people like to dance fast, some people like to dance slow. So what? People have preferences. It sounds like some people feel strongly about the benefits of learning to dance fast. So what?...
