It’s been a busy day, so I decided to open a bottle and pop on the tunes, don’t worry, I’m home and I’m not planning on doing any more driving today, a drunk driving arrest won’t be happening to this lady, trust me, we have had plenty of those in my family.

It seems like my favorite fun groups to listen to are, in no particular order, Lee Press-on, Dr. Zoot, and Swingerhead.

There are lots of other groups I like, Red and the Red Hots, BBVD, Indogo Swing, Bill Elliot, Chazz Cats, Swing Session…

I’ve always loved swing and I hope that neoswing doesn’t become just a footnote somewhere. The movement was filled with unique people, musicians that could actually play their instruments, and bands that could out rock any prepackaged pop band out there.

The stuff can make you laugh, cry, feel nostalgic, and sad and happy at the same time. And through it all you’re always tapping your feet.

And for at least a while it brought back class and style.

I guess you either get it or you don”t. Pity those who don”t.
