FAMILY="SANSSERIF">We play a jitterbug night every Monday night with young
folks doing the Lindy Hop, Balboa and Shag to our (quartet) New Orleans Jazz
and swing tunes. They dance non-stop to every song so when we take a break
they play swing tunes and keep dancing. They play Benny Goodman, Ellington,
Basie, Louis Prima, etc. It has been no problem for us.....the club used to
have Karaoke on the break....that was a huge problem. (many dancers would
leave)<BR><BR>The crowd is always delighted when we resume playing.<BR><BR>Joe
