Aris Allen Wingtip Oxford: When they came out, I wanted to have them because of the design. Keds: This year I eventually bought my first pair of Keds and I really like them.

This was a rather superior jazz group which really caught the public's attention during its seven-year existence and produced over 50 recordings.

In the 1938 Daily Mail radio popularity poll, the Six Swingers were voted top of radio entertainment, with all other dance music grouped together in seventh place.”Read more about George Scott-Wood.I love the minor key harmonies in this song!Title:Artist: Scott Wood & His OrchestraRecorded: 1936Album:Tempo: 155 bpmDance: Lindy HopClick the link to download the song at・ ・ ・ ・What do you think about this version?
