"...Who says Swing is dead? Check out this video of a flash mob dancing to Swing at the Denver Airport....".
I love that video. I have searched, for some time, on flash mobs in general. There have been some really good video's, with all sorts of music. Anyone interested in flash mob music should 'google' it and see what is out there.

@EpsterTHX. I know you posted these for me. RE: Sinatra, I prefer instrumental versions of Begin the Beguine. Crazy Sinatra fan, as you know, so how weird, right? Brian Setzer's recent stuff is on my running playlist.

@HammH I did. 🙂 With ya on the Begin the Beguine. It loses something when there are vocals (odd coming from a vocalist, eh?)

Here's an example of one one of the 'modern' bands recording swing music.

Hey, that was fun! I enjoy dancing to Swing, or more precisely, The Jitterbug. I learned it from my older cousins.

@MaVolta Glad you enjoyed it. One day I want to be part of something like that dancing flash mob. Bet it's a total kick! 🙂
