I'm from the Quad Cities and I was at Hawkeye in April. I had a blast there and you did a really great job DJ'ing. I didn't even realize that you had a blog until today. I was looking around on the net for some ideas because my husband and I just started a swing night in Moline about a month ago. (There's not much of a scene so we're trying to change that.) I'm doing the songs for the dances and I want to keep things interesting. Would you care if I incorporated some of your set lists into our swing night occasionally? You did a great job balancing the music. I was just wondering.
