Swing dancing in the 1940s
A Time Extraordinaire
Ralph and Ruth had been married for almost 70 years. When Ruth came across a photo of them swing dancing as a young couple, they joined hands and bowed their heads.
The night before the couple had reminisced about those ‘classier’ times.
They agreed that architecture, clothing, and dance were works of art in ‘their day’ and that the ‘modern’ world was growing increasingly ugly reflecting the moral decay in a society once vibrant and hopeful.
A tear rolled down Ruth’s cheek at so much loss they had witnessed but Ralph, in his own beautiful fashion, tickled her behind the ear and turned on the Turner Classic Movie Channel. Their hearts soared watching Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers as Ralph sang along softly in Ruth’s ear.

Who could resist Fred and Ginger, Ginger being the real class act in my view.
Oh… those ‘gams’ have you mesmerized, I’m afraid! 😉 Thanks!
They do, they do, and I’m happy to be mesmerised 😉
Reminds me of that song by The Little River Band, “Reminiscing.”
Great song! Yes… appropriate. Thanks.
I would love to be able to dance like that!
Like walking on air. A lost art. Thanks!
