This Week: 2 August 2012

This week, just direct your feet to the cosy "blues room" at the Bedlam Bar this Thursday for the Swing Patrol Juke Joint!  Make it a night out Friday, the Velvet Set & Sydney Swing Katz at Bankstown Sports Club - big band alternating with dancing performances.  Saturday, for those not migrating south, take over the floor and swing out at "Swing at the Roxbury", Glebe.  Sunday, Dan Barnett Big Band at the Unity Hall Hotel, Balmain; George Washingmachine at Sydney Rowers Club, Abbotsford; or Geoff Bull and the Finer Cuts at East Sydney Hotel.

** We'll have a blue room, a new room for two room, where every day's a holiday, because you're dancing with me...   So, have yourselves a holiday this weekend!

Did you recognise this week's quotes?
** This week's quote borrowed from the jazz standard "Blue Room", a Rodgers & Hart tune originally from the film "The Girlfriend", 1926.  Also featured, (where I knew it from), in "Words & Music" 1948, a biographical film on the composers Rodgers & Hart.

Which standard was the other quote from?
