This post comes not too long after Rosanne Cash released an album called "The List." Her album is based on a list her father, Johnny Cash, made for her that she had to know- "a template for excellence," he said.
This got me to thinking about all the songs I've always thought swing dancers should know. And this inspired me (by inspired I mean blatantly copy the idea) to write a list of swing songs that I think every Lindy Hopper should know. The list will probably be listed with album information as much as possible to minimize the effort of acquiring these songs. However, most of these songs are relatively easy to find thanks to our current online retail structure such as Amazon.com and Emusic among other things. In addition, most online stores allow one to preview the song to get a little feel for it.
Stay tuned.
