Lindy-Hopping To Glory
With apologies to my dial-up readers, I just have to post one more quick video clip. It's got everything pig pals commented on yesterday after the Anita post. Great jitterbugging, the export of American culture worldwide, the gutsy spirit of the "greatest generation", and a time when the whole world, with the possible exception of the Third Reich, believed the Americans were the good guys. This is good stuff, folks. It's from a 1944 film called "The Canterville Ghost" and I just have to see the whole movie...

Way cool video stuff Pig! Where do you get this stuff or am I behind the times again.
Loved it !!!!! If only I could find a decent hair jelly like that feller's. I bet it ain't no DOP neither. Probably Daper Dan!
Man, that was great! If you dig up that movie somewhere, I want to see it too! I gotta go get out my saw and catgut.
Allow me to interject at this remove. There are several copies of "The Canterville Ghost" available through Amazon.

That clip, concurring with the rest of the commentators, is the bee's knees. Too hot for words!
Oh, that was so great!! They only did a few steps of Lindy, that was mostly just straight East Coast Swing. I can do all those moves!!
I just know when I get to heaven, Jesus is going to meet me at the door and put out his hand and say "May I have this first dance?" and he's going to swing me like I ain't never been swung before!
Hey Pig! What up! Gone from the world again? Come back I miss you!
Wow, Paula, can I be the singer in the band? I want to have a good view!
