when swing djs get bored...

I'm Duke Ellington!
I'm Duke Ellington!

Just like the greatest of American composers, you see the big picture. You make the most of your resources by arranging them just so. A calm, cool demeanor on the outside is often just a front. Capable of a wide range of emotions and a prolific need for something new, you are at heart a whistful dreamer.

Ha ha - sucked in.
I probably play OP more often than you do, too!
In fact, here are a list of his tracks that I have played in the past year:

Moten Swing - Night Train
Easy Does It - Night Train
Things Ain't What They Used to Be - Night Train
I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good) - Night Train
Happy Go Lucky Local (aka Night Train) [Alternative Take] - Night Train
Blues For Big Scotia - Ultimate Oscar Peterson As Selected By Ray Brown
Mumbles - Ultimate Oscar Peterson As Selected By Ray Brown

I've probably played Mumbles the most because it's uptempo and was very popular for a while. Night Train is a great album, though...


But I draw the line at late Jay McShann... for the most part. The song 'My Chile' from the album 'Hootie!' goes down really well with locals... though I never ever play it in a proper lindy set.
