Brooks Teglar Drums Your Ass Off
There are only a few drummers in the world who drum in that Chick Webb big band style. We'll be having one of the best perform for us June 27 at Glen Echo. Put it on your calendars!
Old Timer Still Thinks it's 1998.
Gilfred "Legsy" McGoo, an original dancer from the Savoy era, apparently still thinks it's 1998. "I don't' like all these kids wearing bright suits and stuff, we didn't wear that to the Savoy. We wore shark skin suits. Dressed nice, Jack." He said at a recent forum.
"No one knows how to dance to the music. Not that I blame them, because the music today is all wrong. We used to dance to Chick Webb, Jack. I don't think anyone here's ever heard of him." When asked about the Zoot suits he apparently saw all over the dance floor, McGoo commented "I'd almost rather see everyone in jeans than dressed like that. No, I take that back. I hope that day never comes."
Up-and-coming follow can't wait for current teachers to get pregnant.
Linda Robinson, an up-and-coming follow from Jasper, Texas, reportedly can't wait for current teachers to get pregnant , "or, you know, quit dancing," so that she will once and for all have the opportunity to be a professional swing dance instructor and general authority on swing dancing.
"I mean, once they have kids, I figure they'll stop dancing professionally. Then it'll be time for the next generation to start teaching. And maybe then I can get a partner out of it, too."
At last count, there were approximately 63 up-and-coming follows in her peer group.
