Bring dancing shoes for KXCR’s ‘Big Band Night’
Band era and are sharing
their extensive knowledge
every Saturday night on
KXCR, beginning at 7 p.m.
on 90.7 FM.
Craddock’s piano-play-
ing career spanned the
decades during and since
those times, while Walker,
back from the war, began
building his vast music col-
lection by buying up every
record he could find of the
best bands of that golden
era.
Behind the two DJs’
smooth patter is a deep love
and
appreciation
of the music.
“Let’s Go Dancing” gets
them out of the KXCR stu-
dio and gets Florence out on
the floor.
If it’s such good fun that
everyone is still standing
and smiling at 9 p.m., the
night may continue on.
Those who love Big
Band and Swing music are
invited to the Senior Center,
1570 Kingwood St.
Admission is $5 per per-
son and guests are invited to
bring wine and beer.
Whether dancing, listen-
ing, watching or just enjoy-
ing good company, dancing
is a nice way to lend support
to KXCR’s mission of
bringing a broad array of
outstanding radio programs
to the central Oregon coast
and its listeners, 24 hours a
day, seven days a week.
