Note the  mention of the New Orleans Band "Palmetto Bug Stompers" in  
the last  paragraph. List mates who know, or know
of trumpeter Jack Fine, may recall  that he was in this band several  
years ago.

Dancing Under the  Stars at Lincoln Center Begins in June

April 13, 2011 - NY TIMES - By  PATRICIA COHEN
Get out those dancing shoes. Lincoln Center has just  announced the  
lineup for Midsummer Night Swing, its annual salsa,  swing, disco,  
tango, Gypsy jazz and folk dancing festival that takes  place under the  
stars. This year a new dance floor has been  installed at the band  
shell in Damrosch Park on West 62nd  Street.

A lottery, which you can enter at midsummernightswing.org, will  be  
used to allocate tickets for opening night, Monday June 27. The  next  
evening, the 28th, is a tribute to “Soul Train” with the  saxophonist  
Pee Wee Ellis and the trombonist Fred Wesley along with  Martha High  
and Fred Ross. Tyrone Proctor, an original “Soul Train”  dancer will be  
on hand to instruct and Biz Markie will  deejay.

Festival bands include the Rio samba singer Diogo Nogueira,  Germany’s  
Ray Collins’ Hot Club, and the Palmetto Bug Stompers from  New Orleans.  
On July 14, Bastille Day, there will be electro-swing  from Paris with  
Caravan Palace and a French Revolution costume  contest.
