OUR LAST SWINGIN' RHYTHM CLUB NITE TOGETHER OF '03
TONIGHT!!!!

Tonite... We can't wait...THE Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra!!! It's utterly amazing that we get to have this spectacular outfit right in our own Rhythm Club!!! We'll look back on this, years from now, and we'll know we were amongst the luckiest swing dancers on earth. It's like having Benny Goodman or Duke Ellington right with us!!

DRESS HAWAIIAN!!!!

Come and celebrate with us for this swingin' holiday party at the Rhythm Club, a nite that features our special celebrity guest master of ceremonies Mr. Maxwell DeMille, a performance by Rusty's Swing Shift Fliers, "Happy Hornets Holiday Raffle" (grand prize winner announced tonite -- it's not to late to purchase tickets!), and dancing by YOU!

And to carry on a Rhythm Club tradition, let's all celebrate the middle of winter by dressing up HAWAIIAN!!!

If you have to pick just one date to go dancing, make it December 17th -- at The Rhythm Club with The Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra. (AND, why not pick up the phone and call a swing dance pal you haven't seen in awhile and invite them to come out of the woodwork for an evening ON the woodwork!)

* Wondering what the heck a "gate"is? This was a phrase popularized by 1940's comedian, Jerry Colonna, who would holler it out every time he was introduced on the Bob Hope radio program. It was a friendly salutation to a swing cat (dancer or swing music enthusiast).
