First Friday at Big City Swing 10/8/2010

I played the second half of the dance at yesterday's First Friday at Big City (yes, it was the 2nd Friday of the month--delayed because WCLX was the weekend before). My friend Chris had the first half of the night, causing me to have to delete about 2/3 of the songs on my shortlist of stuff to play. It's a nice problem to have--his set was killer! (UPDATE: Chris shared it with me, so check it out here.)
