Hope some of you DJML members will take a gander at the current Black Swan
schedule we recently sent out to our email list,...and join us at a few
events if you can.

Eggggselent, Smithers! Music from my generation. Let's don our raccoon coat,
crank up the old jalopy and cut a rug with that fine Black Swan band.

Upcoming performances are listed below. We hope you too will kick up your
heels with Black Swan at these events.  Most venues are appropriate for
listeners and dancers of all ages, gender and IQ. Won't you support live
jazz and join us at these upcoming events? And by the way, schedule
