Featured Swing-era Musician of the Month
Mr. Wesley feels that it was a great honor to not only play bass fiddle in the Harry James orchestra, but for many years Mr. Wesley personally carried the instruments for Harry James. Now, it's time for us to carry the instruments of Mr. Wesley who currently plays bass fiddle in one of four Big Band's Alive orchestras.
Next Month we plan to feature a dancer of the month from one of the Local Community Swing Broadcast Dance Centers. Featured dancers will be sought on the basis of best dress and best look on camera showing good ballroom dance styling in Lindy Hop, East Coast & West Coast Swing & Jitterbug. The orchestras ocassionally play a tango and we'll be looking to feature the most passionate tango dancers here too.
