[Dixielandjazz] The Joys of Swing

[Steve Barbone]

This from Aldergrove in Canada, a rural community of 5000 people, a little
bit East of Vancouver in the beautiful Frazer Valley. Omer Mahmood, the
organizer of these twice monthly swing dances is a transplanted Pakistani.
Yes indeed, Canada swings.

"One never knows do one?"

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
