I don't know a lot about Big Daddy Orchestra, but there is a funny rumor that they chose the name hoping that their initials (B.D.O.) would be confused with B.T.O. Its not likely, but interesting. I know that there are a few BTO "Alumni" playing with them.

I don't understand you regular swingers sometimes. BTO is a great band, and yet, last night, the only regulars were myself, Jennifer, Marcus, Gabe, Debbie, Heather, Jeff, Meeshi, Melissa, Valorie & a couple others. I know some people got tired of them, but they have added new songs and sound fresh. The Catamaran is a fun place to dance. Its got some class, even if it has a small dance floor. Good thing there were a lot of non-regulars there last night. It might survive.

I know I can't exhort people to support a place or a band they don't want to, but I don't understand why this place doesn't get more regulars.

Do you people really prefer gyms with recorded music, over a bar with atmosphere and a live 10-piece band?

Yes, I agree with you Ron and would like to give a Big Thumbs-Up to BTO for their improvements and will certainly be at the next show. Last week I had the best time ever dancing to them.
Shannon's new boogie-woogie song was my new favorite of theirs and all the other songs were rhythm "right on". SUPPORT BTO!!!
I also know that alot of the dancers were at the Casbah last night for the Hot Club Of Cowtown
show. Andy, did BTO play the song that I requested for you?

Ahh, i didn't get to go last nite... though I wanted to. An unexpected mini-crisis came up last nite which thwarted my plans, so I don't know if they played "At Duke's Place" Anyone?

I, too, had a great time last week when we were there. It's definitely a treat to see a live band in a bar venue... I'd love to support that combination.

An unexpected mini-crisis, huh? Bad hair day?

Hello guys and girls. It's my birthday tomorrow (Wednesday) and BTO are very kindly playing at the Catamaran to celebrate. I'm planning to get down there for about 9pm and hope to see y'all for a little dancing and a dose of birthday lindy-love.

Jeff, of course I'll wait for you. Just so long as it's before midnight, when I turn into a pumpkin.

Hey, I just found out I'm not singing tonight so I'm free for dinner?
Who wants to go out and get a bite to eat before the Catamaran?
Let me know. I won't be in front of this computer much today so
if anyone has any ideas give me a ring on my cell phone: 619.339.7117

I don't know Jeff - putting your cell phone number up on the interet in the hope that gaggles of young girls will call you (hey it's now in _my_ little black book);-)James suggested a gathering at PB Bar and Grill. What time is good for people? I think the 1st set at the Cat is starting at 8.30.

Jeff passed his number around in an email awhile back too. I made sure I wrote it in my black book back then! ;)
