I get no kick from champagne, mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all,
so tell me why should it be true, that I get a kick out of you...
Now that you've all recovered from being Christmas-partied-out, it's time to go in search of your next hit. For a mid-week "jazz fix", WEDNESDAY, Emma Pask is at Blue Beat, Double Bay, 8:30pm; and THURSDAY Geoff Bull at Corridor, Newtown, 7:30pm. Then FRIDAY, head over to Newtown to give that rhythm everything you've got - it's the last Swing Pit for 2012! SUNDAY, Geoff Bull and the Finer Cuts at East Sydney Hotel, 5pm; Dan Barnett Trio at Royal Hotel, Paddington, 5:30pm; and The Swinging Blades at Marrickville Golf Club, 3:30pm, where there's a dance floor! REMINDER: There's NO Roxbury this Saturday. Next Roxbury is Sat, 29th Dec.
Your mission this week, if you choose to accept, is to DANCE like there's no tomorrow!!
(This week's "Songs You Should Know": I Get a Kick out of You - Performed by: Frank Sinatra (3:19).
Composer: Cole Porter)
