Fans of American roots music such as swing, blues, and rockabilly need look no further than HighTone Recordings, distributor of Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys, among others.
That was until it got to be so much to handle that late in the evening that Saturday night, he lined up a personal jet to fly to Chicago and get the boys himself.
After a hectic day of media interviews, tea-drinking and chatting with the "old boys", they took part in the formal closure ceremony, which included a fly-by and drill display.
