Here's a link to a video of her dancing on her 90th birthday~! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8h8dLWd0JmplZc.htmlsi=uesPwZ_O8Zt5eVen

Amen to that Thank God I'm 73 and on my way out .

I am much younger, but still have an appreciation for the time when dancing took skill, and when music took lots of skill to play. I enjoy playing jazz/swing on the piano, guitar, and saxophone, and it’s amazing to hear and play. Takes your soul away to a place where you are free, and bound by no limits.

This is my parents music that I listened to as a young guy. I liked it then and like it now that Im 70. As stated in a different comment, this is real dancing!

@Am Me That's right, i'm going to get Thanks for the illustration.

Im 15

@@afdolspncrmcgee congratulations !

@MAGIX 1 congratulations...

I smell,,hair spray,,,that is,,VO5?

U can dance at home I know Is not the same but hope one day going back normal 🙏🙏🙏stay safe

Goddess !

Great....old good times!!! 👏👏👏👏🍷

Couldn't agree more. Can't wait to get back to the dance floor

I wish I knew how to dance like that. There’s tutorials on the basic steps for a few things on youtube and I’ve practiced those but it’s just not the same without a dance partner lol

2002, why that was yesterday, maybe last week, how did you learn to write so soon?

@Zuma Zuma Wow, yes, they did not allow strangers on movie sets. And ya know what, they still don't even if you were a white male wearing a sailor suit. If you watch the vid, they even included a few black people. Just remember, there was no MTV in the 40's and this was not recorded using someone's phone. It was a studio and not some 'club'. And yes, you did not have the law on your side, as if anyone does now. But people had friends and relatives that took care of business. And things were handled better then. Because if someone offended you, you just kicked their ass or found someone that could. People often just disappeared. maybe I am speaking out of turn since I was born in the 50s. People were either cool or assholes and people took care of their own business. women took care of themselves, especially when most of the men were overseas getting killed. But people sucked it up and kept things to themselves. Justice was meted out but no one really put it in the newspaper. I could tell you a lot of stories, but I wont.

I havent been born yet and im diggin it oh yeah

Flavia-Andrea Mkheidze same

Oh, I completely agree! I was born in 2004, and nobody likes this kind of music and dancing. I just want to meet somebody who likes this as much as I do to take me swing dancing.... I was definately born in the wrong era!

May he lie sweetly at rest.

A true hero, may he rest in peace, God bless him.

I agree with you ! Look at what America was like in the 1950s and 1970s , and how pathetic and miserable it is now ! All sorts of LGBT + all kinds of riffraff ! Here before there were men so men , women so women ! I feel sorry for YOU ! Greetings from Russia !

Great experiences for decadess and beautiful swing music

The best is yet to come. Believers in Christ will rise again and be reunited, with no memory of the past, but a blessed here and now, Glory to God!

I can't dance but I still listen to the music. (I'm 27 😅)

@@AnnieSadler96 Nothing wrong with that long as you enjoy.

I’m 14 I love this stuff it’s like I’m a reincarnation of my great-grandfather

@@The_Genealogy_Wizard Cherisable Memories!

Doing it in Nicaragua…85 and 80!

Very well said

My father had a route where he collected the money for juke boxes and put new 78's in.i carried his typewriter, so he could type up the labels He brought all of the older 78's home and we had stacks of them He died in 1950 though when I was 7 and those trips with him lit my way for all of the great music from the 30's to the 40's. No better era . The lyrics were unbelievable and nothing needs to be said about the melodies. Never again to be seen..

@@lanceguranovich6299 What a wonderful story. I also love all that music from that eras. Real music with real lyrics of "Romance" can you believe that? Unlike the garbage of today. A lit of it, anyway.

i was born in 2003,you have luck :(

Wow older then me dad he is born in 1948

I am 74. Lost my husband. We use to dance to this after the kids went to sleep. Couldnt afford to go out. So many happy memories!! We will dance again someday!!

suzie mills Yes indeed it is Susie and I am 71 and I feel just like you do thank God we understand what is really real‼️💞😇

Amen Sister

My parents were born in ‘43, and they danced to this music about 10-15 yrs later than in the US (late 50s). My mom was about 15 when she started going to parties escorted by her brother so older boys wouldn’t bother her. My parents were dancing a much toned down version of these dances at parties they threw for their friends (the latter never danced).

Wow! Cutchahselfah RUG, Jackson!!

D@mn!! I did ballroom dance for years and ya know what?? Those Cats were STRONG!!

Same with my parents!!

Musica bellissima la ho usata per la mia Gara di pattinaggio fantastica❤️❤️

Great music and nice songs

GAng Rap produces figths. Rap is all about hate and put down others. Fights..

I lived through some of this, and how civilized partying was back then, no shootings, no killings, my father was a musician and my mom loved to dance, and that is how i learned to dance with the help of my older brother. i miss these times, so much fun and so SAFE!!!!!!

Oh history repeats itself the 1920s were a time not unlike now. The separation of the Uber wealthy and working class was much the same, it came crashing down in 1929. The forties were a rebuilding time. It could be again

So well said and so true my dad was also in WWII he spent a long time on the Atlantic Ocean deployed on the USS Philadelphia Cruiser while his brother my uncle was in Normandy, they like your parents' my mom and dad could dance up a storm too they were great Americans and patriots. I miss them they taught me so much to live by.

Our Loved Ones are Always with us...every time you think of them, that's them 'knocking'. That wave of missing them...You are feeling THEM MISSING YOU! Craving their foods? It's them knocking again. Things go missing? Yep! They're messing w/you, trying to get your attention. Talk to them! It doesn't have to be aloud, although they Love to hear your voice. Hearing their songs? Overhear someone use a phrase they used? Yep! It's them! B4 you go to sleep, ask that you're taken Home to visit. Don't forget to ask that you remember it. 🤗

@@conniepratt2039 Thanks.

Joe Morin it was so much fun back then for sure,I loved it

Condolences on your loss.

AMEN PREACH IT

War baby here, I was born in 1942, and my Mother taught me how to swing dance when I was 14, so I would never lack a partner on the dance floor. I became quite good and learned a lot from watching Bobby Banas, dance in the early fifties. Yes this is REAL dancing, Swing grooving, Jive, Jitterbug, Lindyhop whatever you do it is all good. I really like to do the New Orleans Slide type of Shag Dancing, whereas you rarely pick your feet up off the floor, it is really smooth, and I can show off my beautiful wife's great dance moves this way!!

Yes, this is dancing.

I agree Maureen. I was also born in 1951. My Mom listened to swing and big bands. I was hard core rock and roll but the older I got the more I liked Mom's music. I love it now.

Here in Cape Breton N.S. Canada, we are still having a ball jiving. Good Old rock'n roll.😀

Make sure to use the proper setting. If blast yourself into the future you might be even more disappointed. I was born in 1958, and I agree with you!!

@@mannyradzky493 yes! Set that device for the past for sure!

And this was during WW2.

☝🏻 There it is. A real music fan. None of that "Music these days is crap born in the wrong generation" bs. Good music is good music

My memories exactly. Despite the bombing and food shortages, life was full and happy. We were blessed to have those experiences which have enabled us to cope with difficult times recently This too will pass

Hi Pamela. Nice to know someone else our age. We’ve got a life full of memories, and we also have KZfaq. I’m located in the uk, after 15 years in Canada. How about you? Alright, we can’t throw ourselves about like we used to, but we keep time to the beat still. I’m guessing, you also remember the foxtrot,waltz, quickstep etc, on a Saturday night at the dancehall. Ted Heath’s Hot Toddy was my favourite. Ah, walking across the floor,and asking some good looking girl like yourself to dance 💃. Those were the days eh?

Be sure, we also listened to this music ! Our Wehrmacht radio device could receive the yank frequencies and we tuned in at night ... when the Führer was sleeping :-) Greatings from an old " Kraut" .. also experienced bombing and shivering in our bunker during " Sir" Harris air raides.

you do now dance one for ma

Errrr.......not many (any) black or brown....or anything but white faces is those clubs and restaurants. In the ‘good old 50’s’ minorities knew their place. Jim Crow laws in the military. Not my idea of good times.

Already had that in mind! Now I just gotta wait and save!

@@chasban then bring it back with a twist, no Jim Crow. Jive and jazz are fun, we can't exclude everyone! So include all that want to join!

I I got an idea let's get some people and a band and let's go on America got talent and let's do a show I think at this time it would be a hit answer me on Facebook

We still havw em here Except for rollerskating rings Never had them

Wow, that sounds like an incredible experience.

@@rpmstudios ...Hey, thank you. Yes, it was. Mind you, I'm 73 now, so, you know, the body isn't quite the same! Still, when some modern stuff comes along that gets me going, I'll twerk around my living room (with the curtains, of course, closed). Robert, UK.

Well in all fairness there was WW2 going on at the time, but yes, I agree with you.

Je pense comme vous

Már akkor jobban élték, mint most itt hon.

The era was a joke, the music was out dated and dancing even more out dated.

Well said.

EXACTLY!! 100%

Long live real music.

All events orchestrated by the bankers to bring suffering and millions of deaths. All could been avoided if people were political and saw who was in control. Not much better today we know more but are still marionettes to the delites. All soldiers have been dupes since the war of 1812. Every battle since was all for the greed and power of the delites in manufactured wars. People got conned into dying for nothing. Most had noble ideas but didn't realized the con

@@kamadokun5420 Germany would of taken care of the scum commie marxists soviets so now we wouldn't be in this marxist problem if the allies stayed out of it but since the banksters marxists of the allies had to go protect the soviet scum their buddies, millions had to die for nothing. People have no clue to real history. The fascists were created to get rid of evil commies that are now screwing up all the western countries including Spain.

I 100% agree, but you have to acknowledge this other fact. This was the same generation that allowed the corruption to become a’regular’ thing in politics to corporate and media influence. I’m sure you remember the beginning of the CIA and the FBI at the end of WWII? My parents were from this generation and both sides are true sadly. Now look where we are with people like Biden and Pelosi, etc. all in their 80s getting laid for being corrupt and selling out what was the same American values this generation believed in and fought for. Tragically sad, isn’t it? From the best in the world to the laughing stock of the world.

And now the Russians in the Ukraine

Yes, I know. And our great grandparents who lived it up at those speakeasies, the dancing and fun they had there, nothing today can come anywhere close to that. Well actually, with me, the fabulous 1920s speakeasy music was somewhere between my grandparents and great grandparents generation. The great 1930s and 1940s swing era was my grandparents generation. The quaint romantic quartet music of the 1900s and 1910s is my great grandparents generation, and I love that music too. I love almost everything from between around 1900 and the early 1950s

This was my mom's day, but she loved to dance and taught me. Jitterbug is the bees knees and really fun.

As that novel starts out; "It was the best of times, and the worst of times." All of that great dancing while world war 2 was raging.

Eso es sierto

Me too my folks. Born in 53 too. Pic is my late sweet wife, Christine. Listen to Brandy by Elliot Lurie. Or Rod Stewart. Take care.

Amen brother! Bring back big band music and swing. My teenage daughter would love it too. She swing dances with her dad at weddings and parties. Hes a DJ on the side and always includes a few swing dances.

If I could be granted one wish that does not involve time travel to prevent a terrible tragedy or raising the dead it would be this...I would open a club that played live swing music every night as well as serving great food. A supper club if you will. It will be called Swing. Who's with me?

I’m 16 atm and I fell in loved with the big bands having Glenn miller’s music be my favorite and he is my idol. I hope to bring that music back and find his signature sound. Because the bands nowadays don’t sound as great as it did.

Agree

@@romneymarsh6695 Me! Sure would be fun!

Wow that's great...How are you doing Karen?

Beautiful great music thank you

Nice for Dancing and great

It still is!

God Bless!

I was too young to be a part of the Swing Era (b. 1956), but when I was in high school, or "jazz band" played a lot of this music (I played trombone). You can't beat it. There are musicologists who consider "Sing Sing Sing (With a Swing)" to be the first rock n roll record. If you can ever get to see footage of Benny Goodman's famous 1938 concert at Carnegie Hall, the hysteria among the girls in the audience matches that of any that The Beatles generated.

Yah!!🙂

Seemingly so. But the European world was, nonetheless, coming apart at the seams.

Qué época, que música hermosa!!!!

Before Zoot Suits and dirty entertainments.

Eso era música!!!

Great songs for dancing enjoey thank you

That is Beautiful! I hope you are dancing when she turn 100!

Wunnerful. Grew up on Lawrence. Mr.Welk gave dozens of people, especially singers a chance to flourish in a decent environment.

Outstanding

Outstanding and Fun

Lucky Dog! Well, plus all the hard work learning to play. 😜

I did the same thing. It was so much fun!

I didn't get paid, but in HS, I played trombone in our school's "jazz band," and we played a whole lot of Swing Era pieces. It was a blast. (I wasn't 1st Chair, but I did get to play the trombone cadenza at the end of Chicago's "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is).

My Dad had two Records both Swing that he would get Drunk and Play LOUD sometimes ...WW II Liberty Ships and Marines....I liked it at the time...still do
