First Friday Swing at SAC in Shrewsbury, MA provided another great time for dancers and listeners alike.  Dan Gabel and the Abletones, featuring Elise Roth, performed a variety of tunes in their extensive playlist such as  “The Trolley Song”,  “How About You”,  “A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square”, and “Mack the Knife”, as well as songs by Vaughn  Monroe and other big bands.  The enthusiastic crowd kept the dance floor moving the whole night, as the band’s rich, dynamic sound kept irresistible melodies in the air.  Next First Friday Swing will be in April, so see you there and come prepared to move.
