SwingDJs

I exchanged that computer for another of the same and it's fine. I still might go with XP, although I'm starting to like Vista's features. I'm mostly worried about software compatability... Swifty, are you actually DJing with vista? If so, did you have any problems at first? What program are you us...

I have had no media center or other audio-related problems with Windows Vista.

Partner dancing is one of the main selling points of swing dancing that makes it special and appealing! I don't see that as limiting at all. A selling point - yes, but also a limiting factor, as you have to learn to partner dance first. In this sense, it belongs with ballroom rather than hip-hop or...

You can get the Regis CD at Amoeba Hollywood for a steal.

I think I get more inquiries about that track than ...

I like the Glen Gray version from 1939-40.

DJStarr uses a word with which counsel is not familiar. Need a "judge" remind you what has happened when you've annoyed "juries" in the past? I hate to derail the thread, but I'm not starting a new one solely to address this. All cute court-room analogies aside - you're becoming...

I've noticed I've been playing lots of songs that feature clarinet lately. Goodman, Shaw, Boilermakers, Edmund Hall, Eddie Shu, Albert Nicholas, Barney Bigard, etc etc. Don't know why or when it started.
