Dear Fans Friends and Clients:
Shades of the Savoy Ballroom. We're playing at a swing dance for UPtown
Swing at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday Night, April 15.
You and your friends are invited and very welcome.
Date: Saturday Night, April 15, 9 PM to 11:30 PM
Where: Arch Building on Campus. 36th Street & Locust Walk
Cost: $10 general admission, $5 with U of P Student ID
Audience: Many, many University students/dancers, Many 30ish, some older
Dancers, Some listeners. An eclectic and intelligent group.
Band: The usual suspects in Barbone Street.
Directions: Go West on Walnut Street from Schuylkill River. Find a metered
parking spot between 35th and 37th. Walk to intersection of 36th & Walnut.
Go South on Campus to Locust Walk (formerly Locust Street but now closed to
vehicle traffic) Arch Building is on your right at the corner of 36th and
Locust Walk.
If you want to refresh your swing dancing, they will have lessons with music
from CDs, 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
This is ALWAYS A GREAT EVENT WHETHER YOU DANCE OR LISTEN. And it is a treat
to see these young people dancing as if they were at the Savoy digging Chick
Webb in the late 1930s, or Louis Jordan and the others, including me, who
played there before they tore it down in the late 1950s. Come on down to
this Saturday Night Fish Fry. You'll be glad you did.
Cheers,
Steve Barbone
