First of all, I would like to thank Are Nodland for taking the time to
reply to my request for writing a few words text in various figlet fonts
for me.  He was the only one who responded to my request, and I am greatly
indebted to him.  Thanks Are!  I really appreciate it!



Now, here is Here's some West Coast Swing ASCII-art I designed: The first
two have been slightly retouched, the rest are all new.
