SwingDJs

Okay, here's a hand grenade for the group. Being from Texas, I have always had an affinity for Western Swing. Bob Wills, Asleep at the Wheel, etc. are all bands I love. But anytime I play a Western Swing song (rarely) most people break out in Country and Western Dancing, since here people know how t...

As Rueben just pointed out on another thread, many venues/DJ's may not have all of the ASCAP, BMI, etc stuff figured out. I, for one, have no idea what is needed to protect myself for any questions of correctness. I believe the venue I DJ at on occasion does have their ASCAP, but is that enough? Que...

Being one of the ones who jumped ship, have they added any content worth returning for???

That would be true, They changed it a couple of months ago. You should have gotten an email with the changes spelled out. That was when a lot of us bailed out of Emusic.

One note about Emusic, They changed their bitrate a couple of months ago to VBR and most have been converted. It definitely made a difference. There are still a few CD at 128k and they give you a warning.

I just stumbled over this on the Verve Music Group WebSite;

"Yule Be Miserable"



Anybody have this? It looks like some classic recordings.

I weep for Dallas... James Gilyard The late, great Big Al Dupree (not really good for dancing though) Kalman Forgive my fellow Dallasite for allowing you to think of Dallas a wasteland for danceable music. Here are some to be considered: Sandra Kaye and The James Gilyard Ensemble - What will I tell...

Jay McShann and Al Casey - Best of Friends

Great versions of "deed I Do" and "Goin' to Kansas City"

It used to be on Emusic.

Sam Myers

Turquoise, Navy, Royal, Lite, Dark

Here let me add 2 cents..... Depending on your AMP Setup you could be dealing with a Mono System or Stereo system. And so the 1/4" plug also can be either mono or stereo. I would use a 6' 1/8" Stereo to 1/8" Stereo Cable and then add a 1/8" Stereo to 1/4" Mono Adapter or 1/8...

Depending on the crowd, I have been known to play "Last Dance" by Donna Summer. I also, took a cue from Jesse and started playing some old skool hip-hop during the breakdown after the lights come on. Humpty Dance, Funky Cold Medina, etc. As for the last 'swing' song, it is usually somethin...

Like 'em both. Jonny Langs my fave.

I am surprised there are not more, cuz it seems like I have heard more than two versions.
