Dance Friday with a Big Band!

Today is a very special Dance Friday.  This is for one important reason and one slightly less important reason.


Reason number 1.  It is my mom's birthday!  My mom is my biggest supporter of Dance Friday so it has to be special.

Cheers Mama!!!!

Reason number 2.  It is my last Friday of summer vacation.  Yes, the dream is at an end.  On Monday I start a new job in my new/old city.

For your dance Friday I bring to you a group that will get your feet tapping, your heart racing, and your booty swinging...The Urban Renewal Project. My good friend Jen introduced me to this band a couple of years ago and I had the pleasure of seeing them perform at the House of Blues in LA.  Her friend Lindsay McMurray is a trombone player for the group and one rockin' lady. Taken from their website, they are described as...

Not your granddaddy's big band! The Urban Renewal Project is a 12-piece big band out of Los Angeles that blends the boundaries of traditional genres into a danceable funky mix of styles from pop & rock to jazz & reggae.
 

This killer group just came out with this new song and it is just the right thing for Dance Friday.  I heard it a couple of weeks ago and I sincerely apologize for keeping it from you all. The song is called My Own Way.  It is perfect for my mom because she is the queen of making her own way.  My own way...how I ended up where I am. 
Wake up world and shake it!
