Just tried to access your link on two browsers and reached a black page with a counter both times. Searched for jitterbuzz on google and found that this version worked:

http://www.jitterbuzz.com/frameset.html

If that link leads to the page that galvanized you, then it's a swing dancing site. In my staggeringly humble opinion, Tommy White-Tie was the best space for that (mostly because it wasn't really about swing dancing). A few years back, one of the resident dandies referred me to the tailor who has become my favorite in New York. The man has a thank-you note from Sinatra on his wall.

Unless I'm missing something, I'll stick with Fedora for now.

It's a swing dancing site, not a sartorial/cultural consortium. In my staggeringly humble opinion, Tommy White-Tie was the best site for that.

I'll stick with Fedora for now, if it's A-OK with you.

If you'll look a little closer (read: scroll down), you'll find many links to information about all manner of vintage interests. It's not just a swing dancing site, by any means; it's also not a bulletin board like the Fedora Lounge, either -- apples and oranges.

I got the same page, Zip Gun Aria. There's a link in the lower left "skip intro" and that took me to the page you found in your search.


FooFoo...I'll have to pick through the site. It has some brick and mortor resources that might be helpful to me. Some as close as Lancaster PA. Thanks for that!

I see what you mean, now that I'm not taking the quaint console in the bottom frame to be the end of the page. Frame sets aren't used much anymore, and some browsers don't make frame scroll bars apparent under different user prefs and plugin settings.

This site might not be "just about swing dancing," but neither was Tommy White-Tie's. Yet that's the focus of both sites, forum page or not.

Not to quibble, though, since you're excited about this site and I have no reason to try to make you feel otherwise. I'm just glad the link works so that people can enjoy it and forward it to friends.

I noticed the skip-this-intro prompt before posting originally. However, I had to open Safari to see it, as Firefox for OSX (with NoScript enabled) doesn't show it's there. I thought it best to provide a less problematic URL if possible.
