Swing Interlude

Lauren has been doing a 5-song featured set at Madonna Inn recently, where every week she features a different person. This week was my turn, so here are the five songs I picked (some of my favorites, mostly due to various associations and the fact that I can't help but be happy when these songs are playing):

-Blues My Naughty Sweetie - Sidney Bechet
-Minor Swing - Django Reinhardt
-Sunny Side of the Street -Dawn Lambeth
-Solid as a Rock - Ella Fitzgerald
-I Can't Give You Anything But Love - Hot Club of Cowtown
