We're here!!
The Villages Swing/Big Band is still here. It just seems we can't get any bookings within the Villages perse'. We practice every Thursday afternoon at Mulberry and have our "big three" dances every year.
The Villages dosen't seem to want any "locals" performing. Course after seeing the list of "favorite performers" a few weeks ago, neither do Villagers.
We had a gig out at the Central Florida Carriage Museum just before Christmas. Nothing in the local birdcage liner about that event. How many Villagers were even aware of it?
Nothing for either of the squares or for COTS although we have mentioned several times we would be willing to perform at either place for a lot less than some of these "rock" bands.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"
Be a gentleman, remove your hat/cap when entering a building and dining out!
