Swing DJ gigs - how's it going, gig-wise?

How are the gigs holding up where you are? I hope everyone is doing well and spreading the good word.
Will big bands ever come back?

Do you mean number of gigs-wise? I haven't noticed a change here near San Francisco--still the same number of weekly dances and special events. No decline in the last couple of years that I can tell.

In fact, this weekend, I'm DJ'ing at a big history-focused workshop. Norma Miller, Chazz Young, and Chester Whitmore will all be there. Yay! :o)

Yup - basically that's what I meant. Say 'Hi" to Chester for me. Been a bit since I've seen him. He was one of the first people I met in the scene back in the way early 90s!

Sure! He's actually staying at my place while here.

What's you last name? (PM me if you prefer privacy.) I assume just "John" isn't going to narrow it down enough. :o)
