Dance Band Epoch

    Dictionary.com word of the day:  epoch (the beginning of a distinctive period in history)

    Another personal epoch--the era of the dance band—has begun for me.  Senior citizens swing!

    They also seem to have more endurance than I do.  Just watching them dance for two hours worth of music wore me out. 

    I’m new at jamming but did my bit with the flute.  Eventually, I hope that I will learn to improvise as well.  But for now, I can at least put some feeling and style into the simple tunes.  I try to follow what the other band members are doing and match their style.

    Here’s the line-up:  piano, drums, bass vocalist, two with a variety of saxophones and clarinet, flute, trumpet, baritone, tuba.

    It was just plain fun.  I’m already looking forward to the June dance.
