Naw folks the truth of the matter is this:    After a very careful and 
thorough marketing research program survey that I spent five minutes on I discovered 
that the Amish community in Pennsylvania, has discovered Swing Dancing and 
Jazz and are wholeheartedly embracing it.

Their young folks have been caught sneaking off the farms and taking long 
buggy rides to swing dances to hear Barbone Street and the Boilermakers bands.  
See what a few well placed flyers on farm fence posts can do for you, or 
imprints on feed and seed bags.

Never underestimate the power of them Burma Shave signs on the interstate.
