Bravo John.

Great rendition, great to see the young people swing dancing, GREAT.  
This is what the music is all about, eh? Those of us who play for  
swing dancing in the USA can't help but salute you. I even saw Jim  
Fryer taking swing dance lessons last month at a swing dance gig I  
played with him. No flies on him. And the young ladies. . . . . sigh.

Cheers,
