Friday, February 12th is Day 106 of the Olympic Torch Relay - and Dal is thrilled to be running the Torch along Robson Street starting at 8:30 am. He'll receive the torch on Robson Street at Robson Square, and run West on Robson to Thurlow. Dal's hoping for a good turnout of family, friends and fans to cheer him on. Look for Torchbearer number 106-043 on a bright orange route marker that will be place at the start of this relay segment, between Howe and Hornby Street on Robson.
Dal has been a familiar site around Andy Livingstone Park for the last several months, as he's trained for his run. He wants to thank Mary McNeil, Minister of State for the Olympics, for choosing him to represent his neighbours in the riding of Vancouver False Creek on this special final day of the Olympic Torch Relay.

"With much having changed in the entertainment business in the last half-century, audiences continue to enjoy the swinging sounds of big band music, and, as long as the audiences keep coming, I will continue to lead the band."
Dal, with his big band orchestra, swinging dance band or combo, is still taking bookings for special events, galas, weddings, birthday, anniversaries, concerts, reunions and dances for years to come - with a long-term goal of entertaining at the 2010 Olympics.
"Thank you for making Symphony Swing an exhilarating and elegant evening. Your participation and leadership helped make Symphony Swing an enormous success!"
