Cut a rug at Symphony's 'Jitterbug Jive' tonight

Ladies, get out your bobby sox and snoods; gents, your zoot suit and gold watch chain!

Tonight, jitterbug and swing enthusiasts will really cut a rug in support of the Plainfield Symphony.

Billed as 'Jitterbug Jive', the bash gets under way at 8 PM and features the jumpin' rhythms of Carrie Jackson and her Sultans of Swing, lots of dancing and an open bar and light fare. The music will highlight the songs and dance steps of the World War II swing era, including jitterbug and boogie woogie and more.

Additional attractions are live and silent auctions featuring such items as an overnight theater package for two in Manhattan ('Sunday in the Park with George', dinner and hotel for the night); a box -- a whole box -- at NJPAC for Broadway's 'Movin' Up'; tickets to David Letterman; a weekend getaway at Cape May, and much much more.

'Beat me daddy, eight to the bar'? No problem.

''Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me'? Gotcha.

'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy'?

Cool, daddy.

The Andrews Sisters made 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy' a wartime hit.
