Is it your kind of swing?

Hi all
I am a songwriter/singer of swing music and want to join the site to read, and participate, in discussions on swing music. I also want to gain a better understanding of what swingdjs are listening to and want they want to play.
I just released an album with original material and expect to get all of the songs on youtube, eventually. Right now I have 2 videos (only one of the two is swing). The "swing" music I am referring to is post WWII, early 50s (classic pop). So, the "sound" is retro and focuses on melody as well as lyrics. I call it "Boutique jazz".
I'd like welcome each you to visit my website and have a listen. I'd enjoy your comments, especially about where you think styles of music are headed and whether the style on the album might have a future.
Again, I'm looking forward to your comments being focused on whether this style of swing might have a future, and not so much as to whether you like my music (I already assume it won't appeal to a number of you, and that a few might find something you enjoy).
If your comments contain some "pointy edges" and you'd prefer to direct them to me privately my email address is:
anthony.jazz@rocketmail.com
My website is: www.anthonyjazz.com
Thanks for allowing me to join swingdjs.
