We spent this whole weekend in Columbus, Ohio playing Friday and Saturday for a dance event called Rocktober, put on by Swing Columbus. And, coincidentally, it was Columbus day weekend. Obviously we played this song in one of our sets.

We arrived in Columbus Thursday night and had an interesting encounter with an intoxicated/stupid neighbor that ended with calling the police. You can read all about it here. Aside from police activity, our stay in Columbus was quite pleasant.
The second day of Rocktober there was a Lindy Hop competition that we played for. I took two videos and I will upload them when we have a better internet connection. One is of the competition's finals.

This morning I was able to Skype with my parents!

This afternoon we played for the Central Ohio Hot Jazz Society. The audience only have one person with not-white-hair. We played very well and they really liked us. I also met the niece of Jimmy McHugh, who introduced herself we played two songs he wrote 1930 and 1928, Exactly Like You and I Can't Give You Anything but Love.
Joke of the Day

Taveling and playing with professional, full time musicians is very fun. We're driving to Asheville, North Carolina tomorrow morning!
