22 September – Let’s just play and swing… around all day

Never forget the vintage contests, and 1984 may well qualify as a vintage contest. A decent crop of songs from top to bottom was the order of the day in 1984. I even know someone that was on a jury, even though he didn’t quite enjoy the final result. Our Finnish friends had one of their best results, sung by Kirill “Kirka” Babitzin. He sadly died in 2007, but wanted everyone to swing/hang around/boogie. Kirka would have been 64 today.
