The Blue Skies Big Band, with the fabulous Jewel Tones, play their annual
Veteran's Day dance/concert at the Oregon Air and Space Museum, November 8 from
2:00-4:00 p.m., this year A Tribute To Glenn Miller, whose plane disappeared
over the English Channel December 15, 1944.

             The show features special guest Bill Williams, Miller's cook, the
last person on the ground to see Miller alive. Williams handed Miller coffee for
the trip, wished him well, and never saw Miller again.

             Featured in the show will be many of Miller's hits, including A
String of Pearls, In the Mood, American Patrol, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Tuxedo
Junction, Elmer's Tune, and Little Brown Jug.

             Tickets are only $8.00, which includes light refreshments, raffles
and door prizes. The event is a fundraiser for the Air and Space Museum, which
is located at 90377 Boeing Drive at the Eugene Airport.

             Blue Skies has made a name for themselves throughout the Northwest
as one of the premier dance bands recalling the great sounds of the `20s, `30s
and `40s. The Jewel Tones are tight vocal trio with a sound reminiscent of the
Andrews Sisters, The McGuire Sisters and the Boswell Sisters.

             So lace up your dancing shoes, or just come out to enjoy the music
at the Oregon Air and Space Museum, November 8 from 2:00-4:00 p.m.

             For further information call the Museum at 461-1101.

San Diego Fusion Exchange (SDFX)
January 8-10, 2010
http://www.sandiegofusionexchange.com

*What is FUSION?*

Tired of hearing all of the "no" in dance? Start saying YES with fusion!

Fusion is the combination of dances in such a way that allows dancers to use all
the techniques, connections, and movements of many dances (in particular swing
and blues, or blues and tango, or west coast and blues). This is a constant
communication from lead to follow (and vice versa) that uses the dancers'
knowledge of more than one dance to flow from one dance to another within a
song/dance. Fusion is imagination in motion.

*Join us for the San Diego Fusion Exchange!*

3 Days of Classes! 3 Nights of Dancing! Amazing instructor lineup! Tons of DJs!
Live Music! Meals included! ...and a LIVE BAND on Saturday night!

For our 3rd year, we're giving you more of what you loved, all in two GORGEOUS
venues: 30 minute breaks between classes, free coffee all day and all night
long, your favorite instructors, great DJs, and uninterrupted social dancing!
Experience the passion of dancing by using the combination of all your dance
knowledge (whether it be blues, west coast, slow lindy, soul, argentine tango,
or any other dance) so that you can best create your own style to fit the music.

To make your stay easier, we've arranged a shuttle service between the main
venue and the late night venue that will take you back to the hotel. We've also
arranged a super special super low $45 rate with the hotel (Jan 1 - 13) so you
can walk to the venues in the beautiful California sun.

And wait, there's more: If you live on the West Coast and you'd like to start
the party as you travel. We've also arranged a party bus starting in Seattle and
picking up in Portland and San Francisco. Contact Kayce Spear (travel
coordinator) by November 1st.

*Passes are going fast!*

Current ticket supplies:
14 ALL ACCESS PASSES for Leads at $175 Regular/$160 Students and
7 ALL ACCESS PASSES for Follows at $190 Regular/$175 Students.
2 DANCE ONLY PASSES at $65 Regular/$65 Students

An all-access pass is a tremendous bargain and includes 3 full days of classes
with dancing in-between, 3 nights of dancing from 9 PM - 5 AM, breakfast, lunch,
and a late night snack.

*Extra Activities -- Arrive Early, Stay Late -- Disneyland!*

San Diego is sunny and mild, most other places places are cold and wet. Why not
give yourself the best dance vacation ever? Start off with Swingin' the New Year
in San Diego then stick around for dancing every night, possibly a rock-climbing
trip on Wednesday, Disneyland on Thursday (transportation included), and a live
band (CJ Hutchinson Band) just for the fusionistas at Ciao Bella on Thursday
night (only $8 ). Rock out with the Fusion Exchange from Friday through Sunday.
Then enjoy more great dancing at a special alternative Milonga just for us.

Start your year off RIGHT!

the finest burlesque peelers this side o' the Mississip', Charlotte
Treuse and Itty Bitty Bang Bang! Let's not forget the bevy of talented
guest musicians who'll also be joining us! The Wonder will be filled
with smokin' hot jazz, sweet harmony, graceful swingers and the

Live big band?  Air conditioning?  Sounds good to me!

    Fans,

    Your favorite big band, Blue Skies with the fabulous Jewel Tones,
is playing a dance/concert this Sunday, August 9, from 2:00-4:00 p.m.
at the Eugene Hilton! It's air-conditioned and as always parking is
free. So make plans to lace up your dancing shoes and come on down to
the Hilton this Sunday to dance and sway to the great big band sounds
you've come to expect from Blue Skies!
    I've been out of town and was unable to get notices on time to the
newspapers about this performance, so we'd greatly appreciate it if
you all could help spread the word. See you Sunday.
    Thanks!

    Jonathan
