[Dixielandjazz] Swing Dance

Hey Bob:

Simply book them unit #2 like you guys do all your other double booked 
gigs,:))
OR TURN THE GIG OVER TO ONE OF THE 5000 other Dixieland bands in 
Sacramento, and the surrounding area.

Fulton street has  always had subs every time I have seen them.   Hell 
give the gig to John Cocuzzi and maybe he will move here and become 
another great local act.   I am actually beginning to believe that 
Sacramento really only has ONE Dixieland Band  which has two hundred 
names and 100 sideman changes  :))

Hell Give the gig to Roger Krum he must need a gig by now :))

How many Barbone Street bands do you think there are on Mardi Gras ??   
Come on guys get out of the BOX and book the gigs.

Hey There is aq Hell of a great gig in Lafayette tonight, booked by 
Stompy Jones who I am sure would be happy to have that gig Fuloton 
Street can't do cause you are GOING TO HUNGARY.   Stompy and his band 
are playing a great Dinner party in of all places ( A Trader Joe's 
Grocery Store, now that folks is some creative booking and making a gig.

If I had known about it in advance I would have bought tickets and 
gone, Again It was probably the best kept SECRET In Lafayette,  I found 
out about it today when I stopped in the store to get a Bottle of wine 
and saw a flyer for the event on the Bulletin board, now who was the 
promoter of this event I ask.

An excellent band and only being promoted with a handmade flyer on the 
bulletin board of the store,what a freakin' shame.

That folks is what guys like Steve and I keep Screaming to all of you 
about, why OKOM has no Respect and no better level of reverence and 
status  that it does in the industry.


Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

Bob Ringwald has recently posted about a Swing Dance gig he and Fulton
Street are playing in California. Perhaps the first of many?

Steve, not the first.

However, FYI, we played a Swing Dance last night at the Mid Town Stomp. 
 The
place was packed with young people, Swing dancing.  I mean packed!  It 
was
so full that they actually had trouble dancing.

We had comments from the kids like "You guys are awesome!"

They want to hire us for a big Swing Dance convention in March.  But we 
will
be on tour in Hungary at that time & unfortunately can't do it.
