1. decent foxtrot song indeed. probably wouldn't play it unless the crowd was older and clearly wanted some foxtrot or smth. 2. I don't think I'd DJ this personally, but like if the band was there playing this -- I'd dance to it and I know others would, too. A lil' slow and ambling, though. 3. Hrm, ...

Did Benny Goodman have that drive when Harry James was with the band? Did Count Basie have that drive when Harry James played with him? I agree some of James' band stuff is fluff, some of it is better suited for ballroom than lindy hoppers (probably the majority), but there's plenty of stuff pre 195...
