SWING TIDE COMBO had the great pleasure of meeting some new friends at The Pines of Sarasota last night.
Requests from the group included "When The Saints Come Marching In"



Clara said, "I loved the music!" and added, "I enjoyed every minute of it."

Once the crowd realized the combo could play ANYTHING...requests poured in.

"My Blue Heaven" "Sweet Georgia Brown" "Blue River" Also I guess I should not have been surprised that we even had a request ..."something from B.B.KING!"

"I Left My Heart in San Francisco"...somebody yelled..."I left my wallet in San Francisco..."




Jack, Art, Dave and Mike were all given a HEARTFELT THANKYOU after they finished the last song...everybody "rushed the stage" to speak with the guys from SWING TIDE COMBO and thanked them for coming to see them at The Pines!

Dearest Swing Tide Guys,Just in case no one has told you lately, you're the BEST!!

Truly, you were such a big part of making a successful plane dedication celebration, You are amazing! Your music filled the Agape Flights hangar with a wonderful sound and spirit of joy, just perfect for a day of celebration. How is it that wonderful music can touch the soul AND even make you forget how hot the weather is?!

Thank you, thank you, for choosing to share your God given gift and highly accomplished musical abilities with Agape. We were all blessed by your presence and your present.

I know God is already taking care of this... but I've asked Him to send each one of you a very special extra blessing in a way you will know it is a direct present from Him. I don't know what those blessings will be, but He already does... He is SO great at surprising and loving us; just keep your eyes open for Him.

May the kindness, hospitality and blessing you so graciously extended to us, be returned many times over to each one of you.

Thank you for choosing to be a blessing!
With heartfelt gratitude for each one of you.


All God's Best,



Carole- for all...

SwingTide Combo

Jazzy Swinging Spirit Filled Blues at Agape’s Hanger June 2010

The Agape's Hanger was packed and the crowd was energized by God’s grace and fueled by the Holy Spirit!





And daring enough to provide a backdrop of music for such a spirit filled event was drummer, Michael Pignotti.



Grounded with God’s grace and gifted with musical talent and leadership skills Mike picked up a percussionist on the fly to accompany the combo at the Agape event…that decision in itself made more than just a few hearts smile!








SWING TIDE COMBO and Agape Flights “Soaring Celebration.” Kick-off went into the history books without a hitch!
Great Big Thank you to Jack Forseen who made it to the AGAPE HANGER, from a Friday night “gig” in Orlando. Of course we juiced him up with a FAT CUP of CAFÉ MOLIDO, from Santo Domingo.

Jack’s reply to the coffee- Brilliant pitch, as he laid down the melody for the SWING TIDE COMBO as only Jack and his Saxophone can.


Art’s name addresses just that "Art," the voice of Art’s guitar sends Art Carson’s solos on a dazzling path of uniqueness.

Dave Tucker on his electric bass guitar hung on to the groove that was ever present and prayerfully laid down.



I enjoyed the music and know that it will get even better as more opportunities for these musicians play together in venues that are supercharged with God’s grace!

God Bless.
