Nope, not familiar with it. But it's not a style of jazz I find particularly appealing. > > Not exactly danceable, either... ;-) You could do ballroomin' to it. This song has a lot more of what some of my dance teachers call "ass", than Ella's version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogwcU7pt-rY When I did a google search for "ballroomin blues" this is the top one to come up. Interestingly, I was there, and these are some of my photos from the night: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157618428454505/ I think the ballroomin finals are photos 3673 through 3709 The leggy brunette in 3675-3709 is the one whose house I was staying at. One nice thing about these dance events is that the local community tends to provide housing for people from out of town. That may mean 8 people in sleeping bags on the floor of a small apartment, but it's still a lot cheaper than a hotel, and it's a great way to get to know people. It looks like I was shooting with flash, but at a fairly slow shutter speed that night. > > Ralf > -- Larry Colen [email protected] (from dos4est) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
