Gable’s travels in and around Dayton, Ohio

Dateline February, 22, 2019:

The Generations Big Band with 17 instrumentalists and 2 vocalists was founded in 2010 by Gary Martin and Pam Wall. Presently they play on the third Thursday, each month, of the Milton Club’s weekly dance night schedule.

      

The Milton Club is one of the best dance venues in our area. They have a stage, a beautiful dance floor, bar and kitchen offering reasonably price food and drinks. The building is one level (no steps), and plenty of free safe parking.

I’m sitting, watching people dance and thinking; “what a blessing it is to see all these people, in my general age group, having such good times.” In all of Gable’s travels over the last twenty years and all the entertainment venues that have come and gone; just what is it that so special about what’s going on in front of me? It’s not the band, as great as they are, it’s not the dance floor, as packed as it is – it’s having a club whose goal is providing “Good Times” for it members and their friends. It’s no wonder the Milton Athletic Club is the oldest active chartered private club in the state of Ohio.

More of Gable’s Travels??? Well I can’t get around like I used to but I did manage to catch another performance of the Central Jazz Big Band at Central Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), 1200 Forrer Blvd in Kettering. It’s my understanding they will be doing it again on the 19th of March and the 16th of April - for $5 or a donation of food items for their pantry; coffee and snacks included - what a deal.

One More Time Swing Band

The One More Time Swing Band is a 10-piece band which plays American big-band music from the nineteen forties – nineteen eighties era plus some of the more current songs. They’ve been entertaining audiences for dancing and concerts since 2004. You can find us on Facebook using our name One More Time Swing Band.

Another new band at the Milton Club, another chance to have "Good Times" for a very affordable price - I'm looking forward to seeing this band and I hope you will join me and Rosemary and we can let the good times roll together.
