| Directors (No picture available) The husband and wife team of Greg & Kathy Todd along with their son, Preston form the band called the Directors. Prior to Preston becoming part of the band, Greg and Kathy traveled across the country performing for hotels, nightclubs, country clubs, private parties, class reunions, and corporate functions. In fact, they have performed everywhere from wedding receptions to LAS VEGAS SHOWROOMS. The trio specializes in the oldies but goodies. One of their running engagements was the Raleigh Moose Lodge where they pleased the crowds for several years. They also enjoy many repeat engagements for senior citizens dances in the Southwest Tennessee area.. |

George Winter Band We have had a band for over 40 years. Most of our band members have degrees in music, as I do. I write most of the charts we play, so the horn players can always play the songs the same way, and have good harmony, especially when we have our trombone player along. I have been associated with ballroom dancing in Alabama for many years. I founded the Tuscaloosa Ballroom Dance Club sixteen years ago, and helped start the Birmingham Chapter of USA Dance thirteen years ago. Our Ballroom Dance Band, plays for 17 dance clubs in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia. Being a ballroom dancer (Fred Astaire, Tuscaloosa), my songs are never too long, always played at the proper tempo, and my selection includes a good proportion of Latin songs. At the dances I distribute printed programs with song titles, dance styles and durations.
