First Friday at Big City Swing 12/2/2011

Another fun night of dancing and DJing for me--two in one week!--last night, this time at Big City Swing. I had the early set, followed by my friend Bob "DJ Thor." A great, lively crowd of dancers made the job easy for both of us--of course it didn't hurt that quite a few people took advantage of the BYO policy. Here's what I played (plus the usual BPM sparkline and histogram):

1. I've Got A Feeling I'm Falling - Louis Armstrong - Satch Plays Fats - 3:13 - 160
2. Moppin' And Boppin' - Fats Waller - 100 Swing & Big Band Classics - 4:27 - 170 (I cut out the first thirty seconds, which is an extended drum solo.)
