Great observation. Swing music, in an aronic step, albeit in a 90s
incarnation, seems to be putting new life into bell bottoms.  When this boy
wore bells (blackmail photos to prove it), it sure wasn't Bennett on the 8
track!

I doubt AS will ever win the hearts of "kids today" but the above artists
will be the future of AS!  Flag the tape.
