I think Kevin Tamura may be the only DJ in Seattle who plays Kermit and Kevin is too busy riding his bike these days to DJ much, so I'm going to take up the Kermit helm ;-0
Fredie also plays Kermit here in Seattle.

Yes he certainly does - he played some for me last Saturday and I played some for him on Sunday.

p.s. to Jim W - As for the CD "Swing This", which I bought at LMF, it's ok - nice versions of "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Bucket's Got a Hole in It". It was recorded in 1999 so there are some neo-swing overtones on some of the songs which are pretty funny to listen to now.

Houston Swing Dance Society has hired him three times, including last year's GSWLF.

His version of "Happy Birthday" works well for birthday jams.
