Well, some BIG news for all you followers of the band. Under a joint venture sponsored by our good friends at Diatomaceous-Johnson, Swingin’ Dick is coming to Aspen ! And we’re not coming alone; we’re bringing three 737 size planeloads of Aspiring American Citizens along with us. The good folks at D-J have decided to help with the migrant relocation crisis, and when Dick was called upon to help, he just couldn’t say no. We look forward to a HUGE celebration with the residents of Aspen this Saturday the 24th of September. All are invited and we expect our new refugee friends will find warmth and hospitality amongst the good citizens of Aspen, CO and that they will be keen to welcome them to America; providing lodging and employment for a few planeloads of folks who want to WORK and see the best of America. While Dick and the Band will have to move on after Sunday, we expect our newfound guests to find a home in this mountain paradise amongst a welcoming townsfolk.

While we’re at it, Dick and the Boys will be working too ! Dick will be part of the flight crew on the first Boeing out of Laredo (which will have some of our refugees on board as well as the band) on Friday; busses have been coordinated to bring waiting migrants from Eagle Pass and points northwest to Laredo where they’ll catch their flights. Unfortunately, due to terrain and airport/aircraft considerations, we’ll have to land at Eagle County Regional Airport, Colorado but it’s a short bus trip into Aspen from there (Y’all are welcome to meet us at the airplanes; our ETA is early Saturday morning and will be updated on Flightaware). Transportation for all has been coordinated–you’re welcome to tag along with the busses as we roll into Aspen and give a honkin’ warm welcome to Dick !

The band will be setting up the bandstand at Rio Grand Park around 6 PM (Rio Grande Place off of Mill Street if you need directions but our bet is you won’t be able to miss the huge bash !). We expect food vendors but bring your own chairs (that is if you want to sit down between the rip-roaring sets of dance music !). And be the first to welcome our guests to America ! Not too many folks get to dance with someone fresh in town from Venezuela so parents make sure your sons and daughters have the night off after their chores !

Dick and the Boys will be letting ‘r rip–and if there’s one thing about Dick and the band is they can go all night ! We’re expecting the festivities to last well into the morning hours perhaps even through sunrise. The weather is supposed to be good–but with just some fall nip starting in–so be sure and dress warmly if you can’t stay warm enough cutting that rug !

Our benefactor for this gala event has asked to remain anonymous so we’ll respect his anonymity. The only thing we’ll say is he loves to wear a big RED hat !

So come one and come all to this joyous occasion. If you have a special request or tune you’d like played, please just forward it to Dick. We’re sure everyone will be pleased; if there’s one thing you can count on it’s a great time when Swingin’ Dick’s on hand !

We’d be remiss if we didn’t put in a shameless plug for our sponsor Diatomaceous Johnson and their great idea — A wonderful group for ALL your consulting needs ! And we’re hoping to bring Swingin’ Dick to more of YOUR towns on their schedule !
