Re: Calming a crazy floor
Just stop the music, say, "Woah, woah, woah!" and state your concerns. Spilled drinks are a real hazard, potentially twisting someone's knee leading to a lifetime of pain. Fortunately, nobody is enough of a jerk to be consciously inconsiderate. And if they are, you want to know who they ar...

http://www.realdetroitweekly.com/content/article_5157.shtml I only know "I Kissed A Girl", but she mentions the Santa Barbara swing scene from 12 years ago. Where did you get your outlandish style from? The swing dancing and Lindy Hop group I was apart of in Santa Barbara at age 13 and 14 ...

Paris Blues on Digital TV-- THIS is Great!
I am a really big fan of the digital television transition. I get free high definition and more subchannels. One of them is a movie channel called THIS, and right now, they're showing Paris Blues with Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, an appearance by Louis Armstrong and a Strayhorn-Ellington soundtrack....

Oscars filler music
Has anybody noticed the music for this year's Academy Awards?
Apparently, the music director has been told to jazz it up, quite literally, and has set himself to mash up and arrange classic movie themes and make them swing.
And here I thought I could fast forward through all that.

And Duke was also open to influences outside his band as when his palette expanded after he heard Louis Armstrong in the 20s. Incidentally, lots of musicians changed after they heard Armstrong, I think Coleman Hawkins said he totally changed after he heard Armstrong. This brings up another question...

Pepsi commercial
During Saturday Night Live, I saw a new Pepsi commercial that mashed-up The Who's "My Generation"with swing, and a bunch of other genres.
Does anybody know anything else about the mash-up?

Enya swings?
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/stor ... d=99190609
I listened to NPR's interview with Enya, and they played some pretty interesting tracks from her new album.
One of the tracks has a bouncy pizzicato to it that I'd like to try out.

Re: Educating about swing rhythms and schemes?
Shouldn't you include Joe Garland in your search? Libraries also have sheet music.mr. e wrote: Thanks for that link (and the image above). I googled for hours but I always only came up with sheets of "In the mood for love" or sites where you could buy them completely.

1930's slow tempo songs
Forwarding somethiing from a writer friend. Everything I can think of is too fast. So I'm writing this comic book script I was invited to pen by the publisher of a horror anthology charmingly entitled "Charnel House". It's a short 14-15 pager set in the days of the Great Depressions, a kin...
