Yours Truly to DJ at the Red Hot Lindy Hop

The folks from Red Hot Lindy Hop graciously invited me to be a guest DJ at the weekly lesson and session at the Rumba Room this Friday.  Radio not being the most visual medium, it will be an interesting experience to watch people listening (and dancing) to the music I play. 

This Friday, March 12, 2010:
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Free admission before 7:00 p.m., $5 after 7:00 p.m.
Free dance lesson at 7:00 p.m. with Mike and Amanda followed by music with Yours Truly until 9:30 p.m.  Salsa at 9:30 p.m.
303 South Main Street
Memphis, TN 38103
