It’s episode 16 of Swingtime and we are dialed into the Now, baby. We got the tunes to soundtrack a happening night at our place . . . music you’ll want to get within six feet of.

Look sharp, starch that collar, straighten your tie, and be ready to light the lady’s cigarette at a moment’s notice. It’s Swingtime, pal.
