Swing Awards

------ SwingTop40.com is a two year old Internet radio station which searches the world for the best new Swing music available and then puts it into a Top 40 radio format with a Weekly Swing Top 40 Countdown Show which is available at their site as a dial up stream 24/7. SwingTop40 has contracted to broadcast The Swing Awards each year and in 2002, for the first time, The Swing Awards honored SwingTop40 by presenting it's "Single Of The Year Award" in the name of SwingTop40.com, from whose # 1 songs the nominations for that Award are selected. In 2002 Lily Wilde and Her Jumpin' Jubilee Orchestra won the first ever "Single Of The Year" Award for their version of "Oh Babe", from their hit CD, "Insect Ball". "That song went up against 38 other #1 songs and came out on top." Said SwingTop40 Program Director and On-Air Personality Alan "Spin Daddy" White. "It's nice that this first Award went to a record that could stand with any Swing record ever made. Lily Wilde is Big Time and that Orchestra can Swing with anybody, past or present. The Ol' Spin Daddy is just Wilde about Lily."


	If I could thank each and every one of you personally for making this possible, I would certainly do that, but I'll have to bundle it all into ONE BIG HUG and THANK YOU ALL!!! We're very proud and honoured to have received this wonderful recognition of our attempts to keep the music alive and real. Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Love to you all, Lily	photo by Evrim Icoz
