Couldn’t you dance a Texas two step to this? Or an Irish jig? This is another little video of the Chanukah celebration in our township. When I was young, there was always someone who could play the fiddle or the accordion and a singer who could carry a tune (or not depending on the alcohol intake…). Holiday get togethers in Scotland usually incorporated a wee sing-song. Younger generations learned the old songs and you weren’t allowed to be shy!
I went dancing recently with a girlfriend. It was a local bar with a Motown night – just our era. They were a really good band and most of the ladies got up to dance. The gentlemen, however, all just stood around hugging the wall/bar – it felt like being back at a Catholic school dance! Lots of leering but no action… Eventually one guy asked me if could swing. I am 99% certain he was talking about dancing but I said I was better at Salsa. He said he would ask me up for a slow dance after the group had their break. It was 10 pm, though, and time for Kerry’s bedtime, so we went home. If he had look like Brad Pitt, my bedtime could have waited!
Faith and dancing – nothing beats it!
Love. Fiddle when i was young was always there not so much the accordion.

I remember the accordion more than the fiddle. The drunken, maudlin, singing was fun!

I can’t play the fiddle, I can’t do a two-step or a jig, I can’t even sing, but I certainly could go around and have a “wee dram”! 😉

This sounds like fun, Kerry, both the plein air concerts, and your night out (I hope Terry didn’t feel too hurt at your mention of Brad Pitt 😊).

It’s just a pseudonym, as is Kerry. So you can call him Brad, if you like. LOL!

Hi Kerry,
It sounds like you had fun at the dance. Are you going again?
I love dancing and haven’t done any dancing in ages, feeling inspired now.
Blessings to you! ♥♥

I might try to go again in the New Year. It was so much fun! It’s a great way to meet someone new if they like to dance. K x 💃

Funny how people generally are slow to get up and dance (me included) when there are few such inhibitions when it comes to clubbing (from what I gather). And yes, I had experience of those Irish dance halls back in the 70s, girls along one wall, boys against the other…
