This Week: 16 January 2013

A-tisket a-tasket I lost my yellow basket...
And if that girlie don't return it, don't know what I'll do...


This FRIDAY, Jump Jive and Wail has been cancelled due to last week's fire, but if you still want your dose of rock'n'roll, you can head over to Ashfield RSL where the Jive Bombers will be playing, or you can check out the Flaming Stars at Rockdale RSL.  SATURDAY, the first Swing at the Roxbury for the year, so make tracks over to Glebe and have a dance, 8.30pm.  SUNDAY, Geoff Bull is at the East Sydney Hotel, Woolloomooloo, 5pm; The Moods will be at Cronulla RSL, 12.30pm; the Jive Bombers at Lizotte's, Dee Why, 12pm, for the Summer Lunch Swing Sessions; or for some toe-tapping old time jazz head to Marrickville Golf Club for the Swinging Blades, 3.30pm. 

This week's "Songs You Should Know":  A-Tisket A-Tasket.   Performed by: Ella Fitzgerald, (clip from the movie "Ride Em Cowboy").
