I heard the Ditty Bops a year or so ago on KCRW and fell in love...and then promptly forgot about them. How fickle. I heard them again last weekend on Prairie Home Companion and went out and downloaded their album. I'm a vintage dance fan - lindy mostly, been doing it for a year & 1/2, but also just started learning collegiate shag, one-step blues, 20s charleston and balboa, and some of their songs are PERFECT for that style - old fashioned without being boring. When it's my turn to DJ at our next swing dance I'm going to throw on "Wishful Thinking" for variety from the usual fare.
