POST COOLY ROCKS ON BLUES? No way.. We are kicking on!

Hey Hey Swing Kids,

David & Charlotte above from Swing On In tearing up the floor at the Moonlight Swing Dance.  
PC:  Cooly Rocks On

It was so great to see so many of you at Cooly Rocks On this year!  Everyone was here there and everywhere  it was great!  It was cracking good weather, record crowds and so many amazing bands to see and dance too! Ray and I worked hard, played hard and enjoyed some quiet moments as well!  Yes we did!  There were many highlights for us this year but here are a few:

  • Our performance troupe performing as The Halfbeaks as the halftime entertainment at the Moonlight Swing Dance.  We were so very proud of everyone and those in attendance cheered loudly so I guess they enjoyed it too!
  • Managing to get to see almost every band on my must see list this year!
  • Saturday night at the Sands – it felt like the old days catching up with old and new friends and Johnny Pandora was epic.
  • Saturday roaming the streets and popping up to dance wherever with whomever!
  • Proud of Swing-A-Billy Ray who DJ’d his style every day and kept the dance floor pumping – He’s a legend and plays all the great stuff for us.

    OK, in this newsletter!
