I played Miller's classic version of "In The Mood" last week and it killed (in a good way). Dancers rushed to pack the floor, most of whom I suspect are newbie enough to have never heard this DJed at a dance before. They went nuts! Don't knock The Mood! 8) Our local swing organizer, Terry...

At first I wasn't paying too much attention because I thought it was a routine.

You got me on a video-watching spree, which led me to search to see if anyone had finally put Josh & Casey ULHS 2004 back online, which, lo and behold, happens to be danced to the same song that kicked off my spree!
