First Friday at Big City Swing 6/2/2012

Last night was another jam-packed First Friday at Big City--the house was packed with lots of very talented and enthusiastic dancers. Like last month, fellow DJ and co-blogger Bob and I spent the better part of the evening trading 3 or 4 songs back and forth. One of these times, we'll try to get a record of the entire back-and-forth, rather than just my half of it. I've marked the points where Bob took over, as best I can remember. Here's the usual BPM sparkline and histogram, and here's my tunes:
